Looking For Ph Test Kit

[Jumbie]

Does anyone know where I could get a PH test kit that does under 6.0 (for acidic waters)? My usual LFS guy said he will try to order one for me next week but I would like one before this weekend. I have tried another LFS and they said they do not carry test kits that test so low. I am going to try to call Andrew at Scales tomorrow but incase of no luck any kind of advice would be great.
Also I have already thought of using a soil PH kit, but I told by my local nursery soil test kits are not calibrated for water use

I's unfortunant that lfs does not sell some of this stuff isn't it.

I use the bottom one. I love it. If you don't take care of the probe properly you will have to replace it sooner than you want to. I also buy the regents in little single use packets. The regents are needed for calibration.

Oh you were looking for a kit!

In my humble opinion, a meter would be a better purchase because the kits only go down to 5.0. Whereas a meter would measure your pH more accurately.

Thanks for the help David and Francine. I agree Francine I think the probe works the best, I am going to order one next week.
