    I purchased a Pinpoint PH Meter today from a guy off CraigsList. It has a Hanna probe, which he old me he has used over a year. My LFS is out of 7PH calibration solution, but will have it for me later this week.

    If I replace the probe, does it matter what the brand is? Should I get a Pinpoint Probe, Hanna or can I use a cheaper (not by much) Milwaukee Probe and get the same results?

    Thanks Pickupman!

    Didn't think to check with BRS. Great price too.
