Hi All,
I am looking for a continuous pH/TDS monitor.
This is for a personal hydroponics DWC reservoir, not any kind of commercial venture.
I see BlueLab in a lot of hydro circles, however I have read multiple reviews of the LCD burning out.
I tried a China no name unit, it didnt last 3 months.
Unless others here teach me otherwise, I am leaning toward a Milwaukee Instruments unit. Would love to hear what has worked for you all!

milwaukee or newer hannah stuff would be my recommendations
bluelab used to be the gold standard but they fell off in terms of qc a while back. their warranty is decent, but i got tired of dealing with the rigamarole of replacing broken/defective units/screens/probes/etc so often
I still swear by my blue labs , everything has been going strong for years and years but I do baby my stuff. And the warranty is great as well
Wow. That’s much more expensive than what I had imagined. That kind of on the fly information is a nice idea though.
There is another model less expensive, I edited the post above to reflect the new link.
I picked up one of these to play with, it was cheap enough. If it doesnt work, minimal loss. I have used other HM Digital instruments on my fish tanks and they performed well.
Figured if I put 1 probe in the supply, and the other in the return, then I would instantly see if the plants are eating or not. If it works then maybe I only need a ph Monitor which is less expensive without the conductivity piece.
Got the BlueLab Guardian.
Will let you know how I like it come September when I can use the tent again.
