Does the inexpensive Milwaukee pH Probe work?
"Milwaukee pH Meter
This easy to use pH meter will give you quick accurate readings instantly. The simplified one step calibration uses PH7 calibration fluid. This test comes complete with a small screwdriver for simple adjusting. Measures from 0.0 to 14.0 ph with a ± 0.1 PH level of accuracy. Measures only 6” L x 1” W." If it works, it's only about $30. Has anyone tried one? Ron |

I have the Milwaukee pH51 and I've been happy with it. I check the calibration about once a month. You do need to keep fluid in the cap to keep the probe wet, it can't dry out. I just use the 7.01 calibration fluid or RODI water. The cap will leak if you don't keep it vertical. The case holds it well though.

I have one. Its accurate, but you have to constantly calibrate it.
