Heres the one Im using fella...great little pen and accurate aswell.
+1 - good kit, reliable, not expensive. I use one and it's the only meter I've bought that hasn't broken...(inc. 2 x bluelab EC truncheons, 2 x ebay pH truncheons, 2 x 'hobby' pH meters (orange one))

+2 from me
i had 2 cheapos before of fleabay, both pieces of crap & i had nothing but problems with them, having to adjust constantly until i binned them & got the Horticare, now, no more fucking about with a small screw to adjust it, you just get your 7.0 solution & press a button & it self calibrates. well worth the money.

looks like p&q's rec is getting the most votes, so, like a uk government i'll cast my sail in that direction no matter what scientific evidence the rest of you provide

Hi cam,
I to have purchased a Hanna probe. Its a multi probe for PH, Conductivity (inc PPM) and temp. I have only been using it for about a month but it is still blob on from the first calibration (I check it regularly). Got it from New York off fleebay for about 80 squid inc postage. The modl is HI 98129 combo tester w/steel temp probe. Would recommend it so far hope to be doing the same in a years time. You can get them from aquatics on line I think for about £100 + postage.
Regards cain1.
