Finally bought my first pH meter an Apera PH60, it works great. Bought it directly from Apera, didn’t want a kit that had set around for who knows how long when buying from Amazon and didn’t want an warranty issues. Customer support has been great in either chat or email. They sent me several emails asking how everything was going and asking if I felt I had gotten the right meter for me. I can now see how I was probably a little high (slightly above 7.0) using General Hydroponics pH regent test method.
