Reccomendations on EC/PH pen

Good morning,

I need your expert advice in the ways of gadgets! I am looking for suggestions for an EC/PH meter. I currently have a PH pen by Hannah that works just fine that i picked up at the local shop for around $40 a year ago. They told me they have a Hannah EC meter for around $40 and also a Bluelab for $90.

Im not stuck on buying it local, so if theres any great deals online feel free to point me in the right direction.

thanks in advance!

I just buy from china. Local people try to rip you off alot of the times especially with meters like those.

On ebay i got a ph meter and a tds meter for about 8 bucks each.

I calibrate the ph meter once a month and the tds meter every few months since its a little less important once you get your nutes on lock.

The ph meter is never off by more than .2, most of the time its off by just .1

Keep the probes wet in a ph neutral solution and calibrate regularly and youll save tons of money!


Heres the links

Also if you dont want to wait the 2 weeks or so its takes for shit to ship from china browse around a little more on ebay and youll probably be able to find a seller within your country that charges a few dollars more for them but the shipping time will be reasonable.

Hope this helped!

I personally use

BLUELAB EC truncheon.

SUBOTA pH meter.

The BLUELAB EC truncheon comes with a 5yr warranty and is factory calibrated and never needs calibrating. Only needs cleaning from time to time with a damp cloth.

The SUBOTA pH pen has replaceable probes. I calibrate it every few weeks and store the pen in pH7 solution for lengevity.


BLUELAB make bomb proof gear.
