These jump around more than House of Pain and can’t be calibrated (to my knowledge). Some Amazon reviews have me hesitant to grab the BlueLabs pen that was speaking to me.
Does anyone use this, or better, what do you use and has been reliable? I’d like something that gives EC and ppm.
Blue lab has the multi with the replacement probe, I used when I had big tubs to mix in and the probe worked perfect as long as you clean an calibrate an dont bang the probe around
Growgreenmichigan usually has 1 for around 200 something
I have a couple meters but like you now use drops. I used to use drops as a double check but now they are my go to while meter sits in storage solution.
Two meters is best. And I agree on all your points. @DougDawson too. Replaceable probe is a must!
I went with a HM COM-100 and it’s held up solidly for a couple years now. Calibrates on standard 1000ppm solution(or two others depending what you’re measuring). Replaceable probe, waterproof, etc. Been the best prove I’ve come across so far, but Ive never splurged for a bluelab or Milwaukee.
The EC pens on the market don’t really have the same problems as PH pens. They usually have graphite electrodes which takes some doing to damage. Occasional calibration and cleaning.
Yes, I was speaking of PH pens as I thought OP was, I should really stop reading stuff on my phone as I somehow missed that the OP was asking about EC pens. My mistake.
