Care & Cleaning
Regular care and cleaning of the Nutradip GrowBoss and its
probes is the best way of ensuring that your device has a long, and
trouble free life.
Caring for pH Probes
The pH Probe is the only component of the GrowBoss that
requires periodic rep l a cement. pH probes age through normal use,
and over time a ccura cy decreases. Eventually, the probe fails
completely. The life span of a pH probe depends on the level of
care it receives, with good care, they will give a long service life.
• DO NOT let the pH probe dry out. If allowed to completely dry
out, the probe will no longer function. Return the probe to the
buffer cap when not in use.
DO NOT knock the probe. It contains a sensitive thin walled
glass tube. If that tube breaks, the probe will no longer
function.
• DO NOT allow the connector of the probe to become wet.
Corrosion on the connector will prevent the signal from
reaching the GrowBoss
• DO NOT rapidly move the probe from cold to hot liquids. The
thermal stress will fracture the internal glass and the probe will
no longer function
• DO NOT put in greasy or oily substances
• DO NOT bend the probe. It is made of glass and it will break
• DO NOT lengthen the cord either with extension pieces or by
modifying the cord. The GrowBoss expects every pH cord to
be the same length, and changing this length will confuse the
GrowBoss resulting in inaccurate readings.
Cleaning pH Probes
As water evaporates from the sol uti on that the pH probe is i n,
residue can be left behind on the pH Probe.
Every Cleaning
The probe bulb should be carefully cleaned with a soft
toothbrush and pH 4.0 calibration solution. Do not touch the bulb
with your fingers.
Every Third Cleaning
The probe bulb should be carefully cleaned with a mixture
of 250mL of water and two-three drops of mild dish
washing liquid using a soft toothbrush, then rinsed with tap
water to remove all traces of detergent, and left overnight in
pH 4 storage solution.
