you will need to get some calibration solution and adjust your meter regularly. the probes in most of those meters dry out easily and become inaccurate. unless it has a metal probe, it is best to store it in a little calibration solution. iv had a few inexpensive meters over the years, but i keep going back to drops because the meters wear out so easily.

I bought one rfom a brand called "essentials" or such, it cost about £20 and is just a generic plastic digital meter like every other one on ebayu. I've used it for about a year and half now and never had to use the clibrate button once. I just make sure there's water in the cap before i put it back on.

lots of different types and looks. long skinny probe that you insert into what you want tested,and a gage to read. they do what the pool strips do but can be used over and over...
