I've checked the Omega 715 and the current price is $92 w/ batteries, and A/C power adapter, and 1 more item that I forget just now. It appears that this is not recommended for water. Otherwise, it is very ideal. I just need to be able to check our water supply every now and then.

Thanks again for your feedback.

I don't understand when you said that the meter is not recommended for water.
I use the meter all the time to check the pH of my tap water, water/ sulfuric acid solutions to water my plants with.
Here's what I do to water my plants: I put the recommended fertilizer on an empty whiskey barrel then I filled the barrel with water. I mixed them with a paddle. After calibrating my meter I check for pH which is normally on the alkaline side. Then I add sulfuric acid a little at a time until the water reads 6.50 the optimum pH recommended for citrus.
I have a self-priming pump connected to a regular water hose to water my citrus.
Easy.
I may have to do a little bit different with my bananas now that I have them.
All you have to do is immersed the tip of your probe in water being tested or you can immersed the whole probe and cable if you want to. It's all waterproof.
To test the water supply: all you need is a glass. Get a sample from your water supply and immersed your probe there. No problem.
