Can anyone recommend a good, accurate TDS meter. I am tired of playing guessing games with the cheap garbage that Amazon sells. I had 3, all on the same scale, all give very different readings and ALL got smashed with a hammer this morning while mixing my nutes. They all do the same thing, test your liquid, pull it out, wait a second then put it back in and have a 200 ppm difference, keep doing that and never get even close to the same number twice. I had enough of guessing games so I got the hammer out and got rid of the problem's. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you Vegan and Old for the advice, I ordered this one...https://www.amazon.ca/HANNA I have spent well over the price of this on junk, not to mention the $80 for the 1413 calibration fluid. Happy growing
Good choice make sure you have calibration solution and you calibrate regularly.
good choices in exactly the order i would rate them. apera is probably the best deal for the higher levels. i run hm com80s (hanna) and apera 60 series.
i run two different spaces miles apart, i don't wanna mess with shit gear. no time. the protective storage case and add-ons that come with the apera at no extra cost put it over the top as a good deal.

I'll vote for the blue lab had mine 3 years and still going strong and has been dropped many times in water on the floor
Why I like it the best is you can switch between 500/700 and ec also Celsius and Fahrenheit
Told a buddy just starting to get a good gage and he saved 40 bucks on a pos that only reads Celsius and 700 which kills me because I always use 500

Wiztech makes a good PH and TDS meter. I like mine. And it costs less than the ones mentioned.

Shit i have a bluelab pen thats 5 years old and still works like a boss. Its a little slo but yup bluelab is worth the 80$ or whatever. But some people think 80$ - 90$ for a good ph pen is too extreme
That's a bargain for a reliable meter.
