Why is the Hach Measuring Instruments reading high?
- J
  Jeffrey LeeAug 23, 2025
  High readings on Hach Measuring Instruments can stem from these issues: * A leak in a reagent delivery valve. Perform the diagnostic test for reagent delivery valves and replace any leaking valves. * The quantity of reagent supplied to the sample cell is incorrect. Perform the diagnostic test for reagent delivery, and if incorrect, check for blockages in the tubing or replace the solenoid valve. * The reagent blank value in the REAGENTS/STANDARDS menu does not match the value on the R1 (molybdate reagent) bottle. Correct the reagent blank value in the menu to match the bottle. * There is a blue stain on the sample cell. Replace the sample cell and use the reagent set with the modified R2 (citric acid) reagent.

What to do if the reagent pressure is low in Hach Measuring Instruments?
- M
  Misty JarvisSep 4, 2025
  Low reagent pressure in Hach Measuring Instruments can be due to: * A bottle cap not being on tightly or not creating a good seal. Remove the bottle caps, clean the bottle rims, check the inner surfaces of the caps, and fully tighten the caps, ensuring the fittings are also tight. * A leak or bad seal in one of the reagent bottles or tubes. Complete the diagnostic test for low reagent pressure.

Why does my Hach Measuring Instruments show a calibration error?
- E
  Erin WilliamsonNov 10, 2025
  A calibration error in Hach Measuring Instruments can occur for several reasons: * The calibration solution value in the menu might not match the value on the bottle. In this case, change the calibration solution value in the calibration menu to match the bottle. * There may be a leak in a reagent delivery valve. Perform the diagnostic test for reagent delivery valves and replace any leaking valves. * The instrument may be supplying an incorrect quantity of reagent or calibration solution to the sample cell. Perform the diagnostic tests for reagent and calibration solution delivery. Look for blockages in the tubing or replace the applicable solenoid valve if needed. * The stir bar may not be installed correctly or is not moving. Install the stir bar and ensure it moves during meas...

What to do if Hach Measuring Instruments readings are not stable?
- D
  Deanna Murray DDSNov 15, 2025
  Unstable readings on Hach Measuring Instruments can be caused by several factors: * A leak in one of the reagent delivery valves. Complete the diagnostic test for reagent delivery valves and replace the valve if a leak is found. * An incorrect quantity of reagent is being supplied to the sample cell. Complete the diagnostic test for reagent delivery. If the reagent delivery is incorrect, check for blockages in the tubing or replace the applicable solenoid valve. * Bubbles in the sample cell or on the stir bar. Rinse the sample cell to remove bubbles; if the readings remain unstable, replace the sample cell. If there are bubbles on the stir bar, replace the stir bar. * A blue stain on the sample cell. Replace the sample cell and use the reagent set with the modified R2 (citric acid...

Why is the Hach Measuring Instruments reading low or less than zero?
- C
  Cynthia WilliamsDec 1, 2025
  If your Hach Measuring Instruments reading is low or less than zero, consider the following: * A leak in one of the reagent delivery valves. Perform the diagnostic test for reagent delivery valves and replace the applicable reagent delivery valve if a leak is present. * The stir bar is not installed correctly or is not moving. Install the stir bar and ensure it moves during measurements. * The quantity of reagent supplied to the sample cell is incorrect. Perform the diagnostic test for reagent delivery. If the reagent delivery is incorrect, look for a blockage in the tubing or replace the applicable solenoid valve. * The reagent blank value in the REAGENTS/STANDARDS menu is different from the value on the R1 (molybdate reagent) bottle. Change the reagent blank value in the REAGENT...
