Winery supply sources charge about $100, but they are largely used, with multiple manufacturers. A few years ago you could get them from hydroponics and pool supply sources for around $30-35. Checking now, I see some on Amazon for under $15. The Hanna one linked is probably a little better.

If anyone has a pH meter that they like and would recommend, I would love to hear about it. <br>

Thanks in advance. <br>
