Pinpoint is the best chioce. Quality product, relatively good price.

and ORP stands for oxidation-reduction potential (REDOX) mainly good for those using Ozone.

I use a Milwaukee meter and have been very happy with it. I have been using it for a year and have not had to recalibrate it yet.

I purchased my Pinpoint last week from the eBay seller below. Purchased Thursday morning and it arrived this morning. Super fast shipping, everything was in perfect shape and packed very well. I would highly recommed this seller if you choose a Pinpoint meter.

Pinpoint. Get some extra calibration fluid. They're like $1 each and you'll need them to validate weird readings you might get.
