pH/Temp/TDS/EC meter

[Shane]

Anyone used this product? Looks like a very good price to get temp, TDS, EC and pH all in one reading.

"The tester functions in temperatures of 0.0 to 60.0 degrees C/32.0 to 140.0 degrees F (+ or - 0.5 degrees C/1 degree F), and has a range of pH 0.0 to 14.0 (+ or - 0.05 pH). EC range is 0 to 3999 uS/cm, TDS range is 0 to 2000 ppm (+ or - 2% F.S), with respective resolutions 1 uS/cm and 1 ppm. At 3.5 ounces and 8.3 x 2.7 x 1.3 inches (H x W x D), the HI 98129 is sized for taking measurements in the field. "

I haven't used this one, but I know Hanna kit is good stuff. Having said that, you may find that it's cheaper [but a tad more work] to get separate bit of kit for TDS/Temp/pH. I have a TDS/Temp one that cost around $25, and my pH meter was around $40. So it depends on whether you want to have "one meter that does it all"... Of course, buying 2-3 Hanna instruments products probably will cost about the same anyways.

It would be a good idea to check out the replacement cost for the ph probe. I use separate standard meters and can usually go a year before needing a new ph probe. A standard probe runs me about $35.
