Can anyone possibly tell me where I might look locally for an accurate PH level tester?
I know a pool shop will carry them, but I do not know if they are accurate (to the tenth) and down in the 0-1 ph range which is where it is needed.
I don't need anything fancy and digital, just fairly accurate. I couldn't seem to locate one today anywhere.
Thanks.

This is the lowest cost meter that I've seen

there are somewhat similar models by various vendors that run from a bit more to about twice this one.
There are some cheaper soil or water testers, but all the ones that I have seen have a limited range (normal natural pH) and aren't quite that
accurate.
I think you'll only find it in a digital format. To read to a tenth of a unit on a full pH scale will require a decent size meter, and those are not
cheap.
Not knowing where you live, I can't say if you can find a low end unit locally. Likely you will have to purchase it
You can find similar units listed for less on eBay. Generally the shipping costs are inflated to allow a low minimum bid, it may cost you about the
same to buy directly from a vendor.
