What about a Kelway HB-2?
    #14266520 - 04/10/11 11:06 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Well folks, unfortunately, I went to the local hydro shop yesterday to get a pH meter. I told the guy I'm not doing hydroponics, and just want to test the soil for potted plants and stuff. He ended up selling me the Oakton Eco Testr pH 2 (this: http://www.bestpetsuppliesguide.com/oakton-ph-tester-ecotestr-ph-2/ ), which I found out later is only for water sampling! I am in the landscaping and nursery biz, and also am interested in mushroom cultivation, so I'm looking for the best meter to just stick into the soil to get an accurate pH reading.

I've heard good things about the Kelway HB-2. Does it jump around at all? One thing I've already noticed doing some liquid samples with the Oakton I just got is that it jumps around. I made some pine bark tea, dipped in the device and it slowly crawled to a halt at 4.1 - then I rinsed it off in the sink per the instructions, and inserted the device again into the same liquid and it gave me a reading of 3.5.

Hopefully they let me return this product.

Furthermore, the meter doesn't ever fucking stop and stabilize!!!!!GRERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

I put the sensor in some tap water and it gave an initial reading of about 8. Now, 7 minutes later the reading is at 6.6

We must have some pretty amazing water here that has the ability to change its pH all by itself. WOW! Someone call the newspapers, I just discovered something new!
