Search for Sprite industries.  The best price I have seen is to order 
direct from them.  There are many others.  Search for "conductivity meter 
and water".  Also, there are lots of used lab equipment sites, which often 
have them.  Measuring one place to the right is adequate for determining 
the conductivity for CS start water, but if you are looking for trends in 
more precise work, two may be helpful.
