VASCM: Recommendation on pH Meter

Another brand that will not be less expensive is Myron. They don’t settle in on a reading for about 15 seconds but are quite reliable. Formerly known as CPS carries them and so do other suppliers.

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.
