---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2013 22:47:48 -0500 From: Pete Calinski <pete.calinski at gmail.com> Subject: Re: pH Meters AJ, I was hoping you were lurking around when I posted these questions. Thanks and thanks to Martin. You guys have sent me on a path to really understand my pH meter. Some observations. It drifts measuring distilled water and tap water but not the 7.01 and 4.01 solution. I was mistaken when I said the instructions said to store it in 7.01 solution. They said a special solution which was not packaged with the unit even though they packed two 7.01 and two 4.01 packs and two packs of cleaning solution. I picked up a bottle of storage solution at my homebrew place today. I guess the pH meter makers are like printer companies. Don't make much on the unit but make up for that on the extras. $19.00 for the storage solution. So now I will concentrate on calibrating and checking calibration then drift in various situations, etc. I also found (and lost for now) a site with a lot of information about how to clean and "recondition" a probe. It says that sometimes corrects the drift problem. If anything come out of these experiments I'll post here. Thanks again AJ and Martin, Pete Return to table of contents
