    I currently have a Saga pH Pen, which I'm not too thrilled with. It works but I don't like the fact that you have to calibrate it with fluid and it takes a few minutes to get the right reading.

    So I want to get a better digital pH meter that won't brake the bank too badly (+- R1500). I'm currently looking at the Boyu pH meter (http://www.boyuaquarium.com/en_ArticleShow.asp?ArticleID=2049).

    Any other recommendations?

    Hi @Neels, I've got the Jenco Vision Plus PH630, cost around R1200, shows accurate PH & temp, water proof too. Works like a charm. I switch on swirl into my water and get my readings.

    @Neels

    Do yourself a big favour and look at this site. They last long and are value for money. I suggest you order it online as they are cheaper that way you can find good deals that way I found one last year November for R1800 with shipping from the states and if you add your 14% vat when it lands here it still comes out R1200 cheaper than a local supplier. bye the way this is a multi meter I am talking about so you score a TDS or temp or whichever combo you feel you need to test for.
