Digital Waterproof Ph Meter???

[Phil C. McNasty]

Does anyone know where in Toronto I can buy a Digital Waterproof Ph Meter?? I could get one online but then I have to wait a week or 2 until it gets in by mail.

I'm talking about a simple one like this: http://healthnutalternatives.com/HM-Digital-PH200-Waterproof-pH-Water/M/B00132G102.htm

Any of these places have them. Around $80-90.

If you know what the range of the pH you are looking for, why not buy some litmus paper?

Because it needs to be exactly between 7.2 and 7.4. Paper isnt accurate enough

Any of these places have them. Around $80-90.

This for personal use or for your swimming pool

Its for the drinking water of a parakeet I bought. PH needs to be just right or they become more prone to diseases.

Maybe I'll post pics later

Just an update, Canadian Tire carries PH meters. A brand called Aquachek:

They run about $80 (incl. taxes)

How does it compare to the HM model?

Waterproof? As distinct from one that lets in water?

The one I bought at Crappy Tire works very well, and is easy to use.

I give it 9/10

The packaging doesnt show proper directions how to use it though, so I had to go to their youtube site to get a video tutorial

Aquachek are GARBAGE, I used to sell them to my clients for their swimming pool (my cost is $16.00, $80 is a huge markup), which they are designed for. The strips rarely even work as the screen almost always show "E" for error. If its for your bird, I would go to the pet shop you bought it from and get one that is designed for them. Regualr tap water has a pH of 7.2 - 7.3 which is perfectly fine for us, but I am not sure about the bird

Now that is some serious nasty Hot Tub water chemistry:
Chlorine 0 - Should be 3ppm
pH 8.4 - Should be 7.2ppm
Alk 50 - Should be 120ppm
Anyone that would jump in that tub would stand getting a serious infection, you'd think they would of atleast balanced the water's chemistry before making a video and uploading it to youtube.

I havent been getting the error message at all. Seems to work okay so far
