6.5 Cleaning the Conductivity Probe
Cleaning the conductivity probe periodically
ensures accurate readings.
The conductivity probe is cleaned using the Bluelab Conductivity Probe Cleaner, or
“Jif” a trade name for a liquid scourer cream used in home bathrooms and kitchens.
Similar products are called “Liquid Vim”, “Soft Scrub”, “Cif cream”, or “Viss”. Never
use scented varieties as they may contain oils that contaminate the conductivity
probe.
1.
Remove shroud.
Hold the body and pull the shroud off.
2.
Clean the conductivity probe face.
Place one or two drops of Bluelab
Conductivity Probe Cleaner onto the
probe face and rub with the Bluelab
Chamois or your finger firmly and
vigorously.
3.
Rinse the conductivity probe face.
Rinse off all traces of cleaner under
running tap water while scrubbing the
probe face with the other side of the
Bluelab Chamois or the same finger.
4.
Check that the water
forms a
smooth film on the probe face.
Ensure you have a clean, smooth
film without any beads of water.
If you have beads of water, repeat
steps 2 and 3.
5.
Refit the
shroud and test in 2.77 EC
Conductivity Standard Solution to
ensure adequate cleaning.
Ensure the probe is dry. Water
remaining on the probe will lower the
conductivity of the solution. Place the
probe tip into the solution, wait for the
reading to stabilise to a constant value.
This can take a few minutes while the
probe adjusts to the temperature of
the solution.
Repeat the cleaning process if the
reading given is not within 0.1 EC, 1 CF,
50 ppm or 70 ppm of the values in the
table below.
