I use the hanna combo meter hi98130. it cost me about $150, 15 yrs ago or so, and I just replaced an electrode after over 10 years of daily use. I think it is a good meter, but it is the only 1 I've had.

Might be cheaper to buy 2 separate units also, a ph meter and a tds meter. I dunno...

No.

Ph meters test the acidity or the alkalinity of either soil or water. You cannot use the same ph meter for both soil and water. Ph meters for water are different than ph meters for soil.

A TDS meter is for measuring the Total Dissolved Solids in a liquid--be it plain water or a hydroponic nutrient solution.
