What do you think of the Premium Aquatics brands of the ph and orp probes? They come bundled with calibration fluid and are a bit cheaper than Neptune / Pinpoint brands.

The bundles look promising:

Anyone try them before? I'd only use the pH for my Ca Reactor, and ORP just because there's a connecter on my AC III :)

Don't most of those probes do the same thing though? They measure a voltage and translate that to a reading of whatever via your device?

I use another brand ph probe with my AC II and it works fine. You just want to make sure it's a BNC connector.

yup it's a BNC. I just ordered the ph probe and it came bundled with 4 and 10 calibration fluid.

It should do better than my 3 year old and unused (dried out probably) neptune probe, hehe.

I'll keep you guys updated on how it turns out.
