## Overview

The Milwaukee Instruments pH600 is a compact, battery-efficient pH tester designed for laboratory and industrial use. Featuring a 0.0 to 14.0 pH range with ±0.1 accuracy, it offers manual one-point calibration via an included screwdriver and a clear single-line LED display. Lightweight and portable, it delivers up to 700 hours of use on three 1.5V button batteries, making it ideal for professionals seeking reliable, on-the-go acidity measurements.

## Description

The Milwaukee Instruments pH600 is a compact pH tester with a narrow probe for use in small samples or test tubes, and has manual two-point calibration, a single-line LCD screen, a replaceable electrode, and a low power demand. A pH meter is commonly used to measure the pH of substance such as water, food, beer, or wine in laboratory, industrial, and food applications. The single-line LCD screen of this meter shows the current measurement. The meter has manual temperature compensation and manual one-point calibration through a trimmer on the top. Three 1.5V button batteries provide approximately 700 hours of use. The meter also comes with a calibration screwdriver and instructions.

A pH meter, also called a sensor or tester, is a device used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. A pH meter has either a portable or a benchtop body. Many portable meters are handheld devices. Some testers have an internal sensor, and may have a tip and body that fit inside of a container for measurement. A meter is commonly used in many different environments from laboratories to field research and manufacturing facilities. Researchers, manufacturers, and hobbyists use a pH meter in aquaculture, agricultural, wine-making, and water-testing, and for scientific applications. Some pH meters may measure additional parameters such as dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity (also called electro-conductivity or EC), temperature, total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, resistivity, or oxygen reduction potential (ORP)/mV.Milwaukee Instruments manufactures electrochemical instrumentation and solutions for water analysis under the Milwaukee and Martini brands. The company, founded in 1998, is headquartered in Rocky Mount, NC.What’s in the Box?ph600 pH testerProtective capCalibration screwdriver1.5V button batteries (3)Instructions

Review: does the job - I have never owned a pH meter before, having been put off by the price and their reputation for being fragile and temperamental. At only $18, the Milwaukee PH600 seemed like a good way to test the water (so to speak). So far I haven't had a need to invest in anything more expensive. I have been using this meter to create hydroxide precipitates and found it to be very stable and reliable. I recalibrate it every day, but it is only ever off by 0.1 or 0.2. The calibration is single-point, but I find that if it shows 10.0 in a 10.0 reference solution, then it will read 6.9 or 7.0 in the 7.0 reference solution. Just don't put the meter in very hot (e.g. boiling) water, the probe will crack like mine did. It still gives correct readings but I'm ordering another of the same model just in case I do something stupid again. It's true, as per some of the other reviews, that calibrating this device by sticking the supplied screwdriver in a small hole in the back while watching the front is a bit inconvenient, but to be honest one gets the hang of it pretty quickly, and I can't really think of a better design. If the hole was in the front or on the side, then it would be more exposed to water drops, at least in my process which involves taking measurements while stirring. And the simple, manual, analogue interface of turning a potentiometer is hard to improve upon. The meter arrived dry, but I put some pH 7.0 reference solution in the cap as soon as I opened the package, and as I said it works fine now. Update: I dropped my second one in salt water and it died. Even after removing the batteries, washing it in distilled water, and drying it, it still wouldn't go back to work for me. So I bought an $80 waterproof Hanna meter (HI98127). The Hanna one is temperature-calibrated, which I found out is important for what I am doing. It also has 2-point calibration. This requires standard buffers (7.0, and either 10 or 4) and is not as flexible as the screwdriver method, but actually works pretty well. And the probe can be separately replaced. I guess Milwaukee still gets five stars for the price, but think about whether robustness to splashes and temperature variations is important to your application.
Review: The Milwaukee pH Tester is accurate and easy to use! Great for testing prepared salso for canning! Love it....Safety First! - I really liked the ease of use with the Milwaukee pH tester. I used the pH Tester to test my canning recipe for home grown tomato salsa. I wanted to be cautious with the acidity level being at or lower than 4.6. The product is very easy to use. You will however need to calibrate the instrument. I went to a local salt water fish store where the clerk sold me the calibration fluid which was totally affordable in my opinion and verified the reading of the instrument was correct. I recommend this product 100%. The salsa turned out delicious and safe!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are directions for testing calibration of milwakee ph 600 aq meter**
A: Purchase a solution of known pH and use that to calibrate. Choose a pH test solution that has a pH close to the one you will be using your meter for.

**Q: On arrival the probe had crystalized salt or battery acid all over.  It seems to work...should I be concerned?**
A: NO! As the instruction sheet specifically states, "Do not be alarmed if white crystals appear around the cap. This is normal with pH electrodes and they dissolve when rinsed with water."

Read those instructions carefully. This is a pretty simple pH meter (manual one-point calibration, NON-replaceable probe, et cetera) - but you'll still need to rinse the probe off after each use, and to store it (preferably upright) with "a few drops" of storage solution in the cap (NOT distilled water!), with the cap securely installed, when not in use. Use, rinse, shake (once or twice - it's not a can of paint, lol), and place cap back on after ensuring that there's some storage solution in there. Once initially hydrated, you really don't want the glass probe to dry out inside (there are very tiny holes in it, which is how it works). That's the purpose of putting some storage solution in the cap, by the way. Plain (tap) water won't work, and distilled water will actually leach the substance out of the probe that's needed for proper function (so, again, don't use distilled water). At the end of the day, this is a disposable device, because it doesn't have a replaceable probe. How long it lasts before it's time to dispose of the thing and buy something else depends on whether it is used *and stored* properly.

**Q: How do I know the manufacturing date of my ph probe since they only last a few months**
A: Most people start selling on Amazon since it is supposed to be a relatively easy way to flip items for cash. But once you start coming across all sorts of acronyms you have never heard of or don’t fully understand, the game starts to seem more challenging. As an Amazon seller, you have most likely come across these three terms:

    SKU – Stands for Stock Keeping Unit and is a generic industry term used in warehouses in order to identify a unique product. All Amazon products need an SKU which either you or Amazon can choose. SKUs are meant to help sellers keep track of their merchandise
    ASIN – Stands for Amazon Stock Identifier Number which is is a unique code every product you send into Amazon’s warehouse will need. You can customize this but in the event that you do not choose your ASIN, Amazon will assign you an arbitrary code. This is essentially ‘Amazon’s SKU’ and is meant to help Amazon keep track of merchandise.   
    EAN – Stands for a European Article Number and normally consists of 12-13 digits. This is basically a barcode which identifies each individual product, its manufacturer and other item characteristics. This code is typically already printed on the label or packaging by the manufacturer.

**Q: can I use this for dissolved oxygen**
A: This is a pH tester

### ⭐ It sucks
*by B***E on April 1, 2025*

I would give it a lower grade/star, but 1 is as low as it goes! It started messing up a month after getting and using it. Sometimes it turns on and other times you have to turn it off and on several times before it stays on. It constantly fluctuates giving high then low numbers while testing the same water. It's pure trash and of course they won't accept me returning it! Do Not Buy this...a complete waste of time, money and the damage its caused to my plants due to major inaccuracy!
