Well my Hanna took a dive, only 2 months old if that! Went to check PH and it read like 8+ I think no way, so I grab the dropper, just under 6. I clean the probe and re calibrate, seems to work until about the 4th reading then back up to 9 or so. PPM still seems to work properly, WTF.

Anyway looking to replace it with something more reliable, anyone have any input good or bad? Are these any good?
Milwaukee Instruments MW802 Smart Ph/EC/TDS Combined Meter.

Thanks,

get a cheap 5 dollar one on ebay from china. itll take 2 weeks or so to ship in but itll be worth it. hell grab 2 while youre at it and theyll probably last you longer.

i have one from there and i calibrate it once a month and its never off by more than .2

My Hanna was over $200 as well it is a HI 98129 Combo.

Good news though, went to the Hydro shop today and told him about it. He told me bring it in and he will get it replaced for me, not a quick exchange but he will send it to Hanna etc.. So cool enough. That's why I buy local when I can.
