When Heavily Contaminated
Heat a diluted Potassium Chloride (KCl) solution to 60-80 degrees
Celsius. Place the tip of the probe into the heated solution and let
sit for an hour. Remove the probe from the solution and let it cool to
room temperature. Then clean with a toothbrush. Rinse with pH 4
solution.
Storing the pH Probe
The pH probe ships with a cap that contains pH 4.0 buffer
solution. This ensures that the tip of the probe is always wet. The
probe should always be stored in pH 4.0 solution. Storing the
probe in distilled, reverse osmosis, or deionized water will cause
premature wear to the probe. Rinse the probe before putting it
into the storage bottle solution to prevent contamination of the
solution in the bottle. Storage solution tha t becomes contamina ted
should be promptly replaced.
If the probe has been allowed to dry out
Place the probe in pH 4.0 Calibration solution for 24 hours,
then attempt to complete a calibration to see if the probe
has suffered permanent damage.
Cleaning the Nutrient Probe
The nutrient probe should be carefully cleaned with a
soft toothbrush to clean off any tds residue. Ensure the probe pins
are dry.
Caring for Calibration Solutions
Your calibration is only as good as the solution used
to perform the calibration. Nutradip manufactures its
own calibration solution at our Kelowna British Columbia
laboratory to ensure that our solution is of the highest quality.
Storage
Store your calibration soluti ons in a cool dark place with the lids
firmly secured.
Ensure caps are always repla ced . Calibration solution that has
been stored uncovered or with the seal compromised should be
discarded.
ALWAYS discard calibration solution after use. NEVER add solution
to the storage
bottle.
Replacement
Replace your calibration solution within 2 months of opening
for continued accuracy.
