in search of a good ph meter

[newbie grow420]

I have been looking and found thishttp://cgi.ebay.com/Waterproof-pH-m...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4ced709f5a I was wondering is this too good to be true? Its waterproof has 2 year warranty and comes with batteries and solution but it seems cheap compared to the 1s I have seen people use like the 60 to 80 dollar 1s. Is auto calibration good? Or is it better to self calibrate? I am wanting to know what you folks think?

seems a bit cheap but i wouldn't know i havent used it so that may not matter. I use a 3 in one meter, temp, ppm, ph. It was about 200 bucks but well worth it!

I have that meter and it works great. The reason it's so cheap is because it's shipped from Hong Kong. Keep in mind because of this mine took like a week and a half to arrive.

That doesn't make sense.

That is where you bought yours from, I could point you in two web sites that have them in stock, and ship from them, not a distribution partner.

I use this one, best and cheapest I've had. $60.00 CAD

I've also got a Milwakee continuous meter similar to the one Bob suggest, great meter. I use it for hydro res but it worked great as a pen replacement when my Hanna meters broke, which was quick and often.
