Milwauke pH controller

Anyone use this? Good or Bad

I am planning to get this to work with my Calcium reactor. It much cheaper compare to Pinpoint.

Their fine, the probes don't last too long though. I started replacing them with pinpoint probes instead. I might have one for sale next week becuase i just bought an Aqua Controller. LMK if you're interested.

How will you know when the probe is bad?

When you recalibrate the controler, you'd know if the probe was bad.

Ive been running mine for about 1.5 years with no problems. The Milwakee that I have only reads to one decimal place though, which is the only downside. I think the pinpoints read to 2 decimals. My Lighthouse controller reads to 2 which I like better. I actually have been running the Milwaukee side by side with the Lighthouse. For some reason the Milwaukee reads about .1 higher at all times. When I check calibration with the cal fluid they are both dead nuts on. Im not 100% sure which is correct by I beleive the Lighthouse PH reading is closer.

When using this for the Calcium reactor, you don't need the 2 decimal places accuracy right??

 

[aiko670]

I don't think so. I'm more worried about the accuracy of the PH in the actual tank.

thanks sullyman

It's never been an issue for me.
I have a ph monitor for the tank, and a controler for the calcium reactor.
Your welcome taino.
