My Hach Pocket Pro + Ph Tester has served me well for 2 years now, and I made a mistake by dropping it and the glass sensor broke. The main part of the meter seems ok. Amazon now sells the Hach meter for $122 and was surprised the replacement probe costs $77. I can buy it on Prime so shipping is 2 day and included in the $77.
While looking at meters on Amazon, I happened to note the Apera Pocket Ph Tester that gets tons of good reviews and this entire meter is actually the same price as just the replacement probe for the Hach. Knowing I will eventually replace any probe I get, the replacement probe for the Apera is $27.
Decisions......I know my Hach serves me well and it was totally my error the sensor broke. But with all being equal, I am struggling to decide which way to go here.
