Milwaukee Instruments — sold in Australia as Milwaukee Meters — is the water-analysis brand behind the pH, TDS, EC, ORP and dissolved oxygen testers on this page. It is not related to Milwaukee Tool. Pacific Sensor Tech is an Australian distributor, holding the full range in local stock: 160+ instruments, probes, reagents and calibration solutions, shipped from Australia with local warranty support and ex-GST trade pricing.
The Milwaukee range covers most routine water-quality measurements. The largest groups are pH meters and testers, temperature meters, conductivity / EC meters and TDS meters, alongside ORP meters, salinity meters, chlorine meters, turbidity meters, dissolved oxygen meters, ammonia and phosphate. For sugar, wine and salinity work by refractive index see the digital refractometers, and for colorimetric testing the photometers.

Milwaukee instruments are built to be kept, not replaced. Most testers take a replaceable probe or electrode rather than being sealed units, and Pacific Sensor Tech stocks 40+ probes and accessories plus 16 reagents and a full set of buffer and calibration solutions in Australia. That matters more than the purchase price: a meter bought from an overseas marketplace listing is difficult to recalibrate, re-probe or claim warranty on once it is in service.
Calibrate in pH 7.01 buffer first, then in a second buffer that brackets your expected range — pH 4.01 for acidic samples, pH 10.01 for alkaline. Rinse the electrode in distilled water between buffers and never wipe it dry. Most Milwaukee PRO and MAX testers recognise the standard buffers automatically. Recalibrate weekly in regular use, and always after cleaning or replacing an electrode. Check your model's manual for the exact key sequence.
No. Milwaukee Instruments makes water-analysis and laboratory test equipment — pH, EC, TDS, ORP and dissolved oxygen meters. Milwaukee Tool makes power tools and site instruments such as multimeters, laser measures and temperature guns. They are unrelated companies that happen to share a name. Everything on this page is Milwaukee Instruments.
For spot checks and field work the pocket testers are the simplest option — pH600AQ, pH51, pH54, pH55 PRO, pH56 PRO and pH58 MAX, with the pH58 MAX also reading ORP. For laboratory or production use where you need a separate probe on a cable, choose a portable meter: MW100 PRO or MW101 PRO for general work, MW102 PRO for pH with temperature, or the dedicated MW101-SOIL PRO and MW102-FOOD PRO for soil and food. For benchtop work with data logging, step up to the MW150 and MW180 MAX range.
On most of the range, yes. Milwaukee's pocket testers from the pH51 upward take a replaceable electrode, and the portable and bench meters use a separate probe on a cable. An electrode reaching end of life therefore does not mean replacing the instrument. Pacific Sensor Tech stocks the replacement probes, electrodes, membrane kits and reagents for the range in Australia.
