New pH / EC / TD tester off ebay $60

[deftdrummer]

$60 shipped for this pH tester that I just purchased off ebay:

eBay: new Hanna HI98311 PH/EC/TDS/TEMP Meter 98311 (item 140107454140 end time Apr-13-07 17:36:41 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140107454140)

I think it is a steal. Anybody have any experience with these types? I am coming from a pH600 pen model that didn't even last 3 grows. (batteries got all corroded and crapped out)

That is not a PH tester. The ad was a little misleading. It measures EC/TDS/Temp. I hope you got what you wanted. If not send it back. The price is still great for a TDS/EC meter. Look here for specs. I don't use that model, but alot of people are quite happy with hanna meters.

The original DiST (Dissolved Solids Tester) was first introduced in 1986 by HANNA instruments. Since then, Conductivity and Total Dissolved Solids measurements have never been easier. DiST's ease-of-use, in combination with its affordability, made it the standard in EC and TDS measurement. HANNA instruments continues the tradition of innovation with the DiST 5 and DiST 6. Here at HANNA instruments we have always valued the comments and suggestions coming from our customers. For this series, we have included all the features you have asked for and more! The DiST 5 and DiST 6 include features such as a replaceable graphite electrode, adjustable TDS ratio, temperature in °C or °F, automatic temperature compensation (ATC) with adjustable �, battery level indicator, stability indicator, automatic shut-off and automatic calibrating all in a floating, waterproof casing. This 3-in-1 tester is unmatched in EC/TDS/Temperature measurements!

I think you can get out of that Deft - the guys says PH in the heading but it's not a PH meter so it's misrepresented...should be no problem for you.
