the hanna combo meter

[tchashow]

i've found 2 different types of hanna combo meters on ebay and one of them is a monitor and the other is just a tester. the monitor keeps CONTINUOUS track of the tds/ec and ph levels but the tester just tells you what the measurements are at that certain period but it does float. does it matter which one i get? is one better than the other? i was thinking of just getting the tester bcuz it is cheaper but i dont wanna skimp out and mess up my whole grow bcuz i know that tds and ph are very important. does any one have any input on this matter? should i get the monitor (more expensive) or the tester (better price range 4 me)????????????

You just want a tester not a monitor. You will need a pH/EC/TDS tester.

I was interested in Hanna myself. I looked very briefly as I was leaving the hydro store and I think the price was $145.00. Don't know which one. How much are they on ebay?

What Buddy said:aok:

 

[tchashow]

on ebay they are 126 for the tester and 134 for the monitor. shipping not included.

 

[tchashow]

and they test for ph tds and ec. pretty cheap i think

and here is a much simpler cheaper model

just replace xx with tt for the links. Don't cheap out on your meter. It is the most important thing for growing in hydroponics.

anything HANNA water proof series is well worth the money...i check my calibration weekly but never have to re calibrate

 

[BuddyLuv]

That is why I only test it monthly now, unless I drop it!

I would check ebay and also do a google search as well as I did find it cheaper. I will be buying mine in about two weeks.
