[Scott]

Has anyone seen this type of PH meter? Price was right but no info on it.

TIA

I haven't, what price range are you looking at?

Scott:
I think I found it. It is called "pH pocket Pal tester by Hach USA.

On the Hach website, it says it is an "OBSOLOETE ITEM" and is no longer available.

When I was searching for a pH meter, I listed a number of them with prices included. I have included the link below.

This meter works fine for an entry level Meter but you should calibrate before each use.

Julie, the price was a bottle of wine and a bottle of skeeter pee!!

Corinth, thanks for the info, that is my luck getting an obsolete item

Aaron, that does look like the one, how do you calibrate it? In 7 solution it read 7.3 and in 10 solution it read 9.9. I have it in 4 solution now for storing, does that sound ok? It should work for me, still trying to get up to entry level

Scott: Try using PH 7 solution and PH 4.1 solution.
There is a screw in the back you turn to calibrate to these numbers.
I can usually get it bang on these numbers every time.

LOL, well you can't go wrong with a deal like that!

 

[Scott]

Ok I will look for the adjustment screw, thanks alot Aaron. Do you store yours in the 4 solution all the time?

That is the deals I lik Julie, just don't happen very often

 

[LoveTheWine]

I pour some in the cap and store it cap side down. That reminds me... time to replenish!

Is there a meter u don't have to calibrate each time you use it?

 

[Scott]

Thanks Aaron

gotbags, not sure? The place where I obtained this one uses the fancy ones everyday and calibrate once a week.
