Five of the most useful water testing and water treatment devices

ORP Meters: ORP (oxidation reduction potential) Meters are available in a variety of variants such as waterproof, portable devices and laboratory bench meters.  The ORP Meter can be used for analysing swimming pool and spa water.  They can also be used in aquaculture, aquariums and ecology studies and are suitable for accurate results in educational establishments.  ORP Meters are crucial in the testing of disinfectant levels in water systems.

Ph Meters: pH meters are versatile, are available in many forms and can be used in a variety of applications.  Ph meters are available as laboratory bench sensors and also as waterproof and handheld devices.  pH meters are used in many work environments and applications such as universities, hospitals, food industry, swimming pools and spas and agriculture.  Ph meters display the precise pH value of whatever sample you wish to test.

Salinity Meters: Salinity testers / meters are available as handheld or waterproof instruments.  Salinity meters can be used in general water monitoring, food production and laboratories.  Salinity meters / sensors measure the dissolved salt content of a solution / sample.

Turbidity Meters: Turbidity meters are usually either small, portable devices or laboratory bench meters.  Turbidity meters are usually used in the laboratory or in educational, industrial and environmental applications.  These meters measure turbidity in water, which is cloudiness in liquid caused by particles that are too small to be seen by the naked eye.

TDS Meters: TDS meters are available as bench models and as handheld, portable units.  Ideal applications for TDS meters are hydroponics, aquariums, pools and waste water regulation.  TDS meters measure the Total Dissolved Solids in a sample or solution.

All of the above devices are available for purchase from laboratory supply and process control retailers.

PH monitors are okay. Most people use them as a warning system and still test their pH with liquid tests.

In my opinion it's not foolproof and you should still use a test, though I'm sure if your tank ever had a pH crash it would help a lot.

So it just depends on if you want to spend the money.
