Storing the pH probe
When storing the pH probe, the pH probe tip must be
kept moist.
To prepare the pH probe for storage, add enough
Bluelab pH Probe KCl Storage Solution to the storage
cap so the probe tip is covered. Then replace the cap
and store in a secure place. DO NOT use RO (Reverse
Osmosis), Distilled or
De-ionized water. Pure water changes the chemistry in
the reference, causing the probe to die.
If the pH probe has been accidentally allowed to
dry out;
The pH probe must be ‘hydrated’ for 24 hours in KCl
storage solution (never use RO, Distilled or De-ionized
water). Following this; carry out a calibration to check if
the probe has already suffered permanent damage.
Ensure probe tip is covered by
the KCl storage solution in cap
