SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on recommendations for portable Tesla meters suitable for measuring magnetic fields from submersible water pump rotors. Key considerations include the sensitivity of the device based on expected magnetic field strength and the operational environment, particularly underwater. Participants suggest that users can also opt to build their own Tesla meters, referencing resources like Cool Magnet Man's magnetic meter guide.

Any recommendations on a portable Tesla Meter to measure the strength of a magnetic field emanating from a submersible water pump rotor/magnet?

It usually depends on how big you expect the field to be (how sensitive you need the device) and where you want to operate it (i.e. under water).
You can always build your own.
