PH meter + sump = need new PH meter

[Jason McK]

ya I dropped my American Marine PH meter in my sump. Cleaned it off blew it dry and let it sit over night. Unless I always want a PH of -1.0, I think it's toast. Locally is seems only American Marine are being sold. Are there any others meters I should look into. Even through online purchase?

Pin point are really good, but they are more expensive. Especially when you need to replace the probe, every other year.

[Jason McK]

Ya Sorry American Marine and pinpoint are the same thing

Oh ya, I should know that, sorry.

Ohh no! You should have made sure the power was disconnected and let it sit in fresh water and then dry it out fully. Might have come to life again.

I have both pin point and Milwaukee and find them both to be good. Milwaukee I have bought on e-bay but have never looked for pin point there.

Oh ya e-bay

Let's see

I use the Milwaukee SM122 myself. Its a PH controller. I use it for Kalk as well.. I modified the unit a bit so it has a closed circuit when the PH falls below a certain value instead of above.

Seems to be very accurate as well (the PH probe)

I did the same thing to mine about 2 weeks after I bought it. I managed to resurrect it for a short while but eventually it went down the crapper (steady pH of 11.6). I just bought the milwaukee PH52 (its a one piece unit not continuous read though unless you strap it in somewhere). Its completely waterproof (so far but I haven't fully dunked it in) and wasn't too expensive. I got it here on the Island but I bet Wendell carries them.

i have the same unit (for a planted tank I was going to set up), and I find it very helpful. I just look at the monitor.

and yeah, a relay can make it trip whe pH falls below a certain value, instead of up.
