6.3 Hydrating the pH probe
the probe tip has not always been stored in KCl storage solution, to improve the
reading response speed.
the probe tip has been accidentally allowed to dry out.
Never store the pH probe in RO (Reverse Osmosis), De-ionized or Distilled water.
Pure water changes the chemistry in the reference, causing the probe to die.
Clean the pH probe tip. Ensure the probe tip is
cleaned before hydrating. See section 6.2 for
instructions.
Add enough Bluelab pH Probe KCl Storage
Solution to a plastic container to submerge the
pH probe tip.
Loosen, then remove the storage cap (if
required). Place the pH probe upright in a the
KCl solution.
Leave to soak for up to 24 hours. After
hydration, always calibrate the pH probe to
ensure accuracy, see section 5.1.
