hi

Has anyone had any experience with this ppm meter? seems a little on the cheap side.. just thought id ask before purchase.

thanks

It looks exactly like HM Digital's TDS3 that I use without the logo. It must be a knock off or probably built by the same company that makes them for HMD. The price is cheap enough to gamble on it imo.

I've learned my lesson on cheap meters. Don't do it man. Getcha one of these.

Never needs calibrating fully waterproof. Dead simple. Reasonably priced.
