Thank you guys!

The Ph Meter I bought comes with 3 capsules of powder to be diluted in 100
ml of distilled water for calibration.
It`s 4.0, 7.0 and 10.0!
I got it on Ebay for 24.95 US which is a big deal since my hydroponic store
in montreal sell the same for 139.00 Can !

Bye

| I don't see why pH is connected only to folks growing in semi-hydroponic
culture - it should be of

hurt tapwaterers either.
|
| Anyway, I have a Hanna TDS meter, and it's a well-made device that is very
repeatable. Based upon
| my experience with that, I would thing that the Checker would be a pretty
good choice.
|
| When I was shopping for a pH meter, I checked with fellow orchid grower
John Talpa, who is a water
| professional, and certified as such. He makes his living via home and
commercial water treatment.
| According to him, and he also checked with his instrument wholesaler about
their biggest sellers,
| the most popular among pros was the Oakton pH Testr 2. It even came with
some buffer solution
| standards (pH 4, 7, & 10), but I bought more of the 7's, as that's closest
to the range we're
| interested to. No matter what you buy, spring for the disposable packs,
as they are stable until
| opened, and are perfect for calibrations with no other container needed.
|
| What I really like about it is that calibration is really easy: put the
device in the buffer
| solution, press the calibration button, wait for the meter to display a
number near that of the
| buffer - it blinks quickly when it thinks it's done), press another button
to lock it in, and
| voila', it displays the exact pH and you're done.
