6.0 Hydrating the pH probe
Hydrate the pH probe in Bluelab pH Probe KCl Storage Solution when:
• 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 use RO (Reverse Osmosis), De-ionized or Distilled water.
Pure water changes the chemistry in the reference, causing the probe to die.
Loosen, then remove the storage cap.
Place the pH probe upright in a plastic
container.
Clean the pH probe tip.
Ensure the probe tip has been cleaned
before hydrating. See section 4.0 for
instructions.
Add enough Bluelab pH Probe KCl
Storage Solution to a plastic container to
submerge the pH probe tip.
Leave to soak for at least 24 hours.
After hydration, always calibrate the pH
probe to ensure accuracy.
