How to fix pH calibration old or not calibrated on Bluelab Controller?
- S
  stoutsherryAug 17, 2025
  To address an old or uncalibrated pH on your Bluelab Pro Controller, consider the following: * Perform at least a 2-point pH calibration. * If the pH probe is dirty, clean it and then calibrate. * A damaged or old pH probe should be replaced. * If a previous pH calibration failed, identify the cause and recalibrate. * Ensure the pH probe tip is always immersed in the solution being measured.

What to do if attempting to calibrate to pH 4 or pH 10 more than an hour after pH 7 calibration on bluelab Pro Wi-Fi Controller?
- V
  Valerie RoyAug 19, 2025
  If you're attempting to calibrate to pH 4 or pH 10 more than an hour after calibrating to pH 7 on your Bluelab Controller, take these steps: 1. Perform a pH 7 calibration. 2. Then, calibrate to pH 4 or pH 10 within one hour. Also, a dirty or damaged pH probe can cause calibration issues, so clean or replace the probe if necessary.

What to do if 2.77 EC solution old in bluelab Pro Wi-Fi Controller?
- B
  Brian WalkerAug 30, 2025
  If your 2.77 EC solution is old when using Bluelab Controller: * Always use fresh solution from well-sealed bottles or new sachets, as conductivity solution changes value over time, usually becoming weaker as water evaporates. * Ensure the conductivity probe is dry before calibrating or checking, or rinse it in conductivity solution first, as a wet probe can lower the value.

Why is the dose on time too long on my bluelab Pro Wi-Fi?
- J
  Joshua LewisSep 8, 2025
  If the dose on time is too long on your Bluelab Controller, consider these solutions: * Reduce the on time so that 2-3 doses shift 0.1EC/1CF/50TDS/70ppm or 0.1pH. * Increase the off time if it's too short to allow the reservoir to mix. * Estimate mixing time by overshooting nutrient addition and timing until the new value stabilizes. * If the dosing pump is too large for the reservoir, choose a smaller dosing system or dilute stock solutions.

What to do if alarm value has been reached, but dosing in other measurements is still occurring on bluelab Pro Wi-Fi?
- S
  Stephen HendersonSep 12, 2025
  To stop dosing in other measurements when an alarm value has been reached on your Bluelab Controller, set a control direction. This will lock out dosing in other measurement types. Also, set the required alarm value so that dosing will not occur.
