Applications:Essential for aquarium pH monitoring (freshwater, saltwater, reef tanks), hydroponics nutrient solution testing, swimming pool and spa water chemistry, drinking water quality verification, environmental water testing, laboratory analysis, food and beverage production, wastewater treatment, and any application using pH meters. This complete starter kit provides everything needed for accurate calibration and proper electrode maintenance.Compatible Equipment:
Milwaukee pH meters and testers (MW100, MW101, MW102, etc.)
Milwaukee pH controllers and monitors
Milwaukee combo meters (MW801, MW802, etc.)
Any pH meter requiring pH 4.01 and pH 7.01 calibration standards
Why This Complete Starter Kit?Proper pH meter maintenance requires more than just calibration buffers. This comprehensive starter kit includes all four essential solutions: pH 4.01 and pH 7.01 for two-point calibration (the gold standard for accuracy), cleaning solution to remove deposits that affect accuracy, and storage solution to keep electrodes hydrated between uses. Purchasing the complete starter kit saves money versus buying individual bottles and ensures you have everything needed for optimal pH meter performance.How to Use:Calibration: Use MA9004 (pH 4.01) and MA9007 (pH 7.01) for two-point calibration following your meter's instructions. Two-point calibration ensures accuracy across the full pH range.Cleaning: Use MA9016 cleaning solution to remove protein deposits, oils, and contaminants from the pH electrode. Soak probe for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with distilled water.Storage: Store pH electrode in MA9015 storage solution when not in use. Never store in distilled water—this damages the electrode and reduces accuracy.Calibration Best Practices:For optimal accuracy, calibrate your pH meter at two points: pH 7.01 (neutral) and pH 4.01 (acidic) or pH 10.01 (alkaline) depending on your typical sample range. Calibrate weekly for frequent use, monthly for moderate use, or before critical measurements. Always calibrate after cleaning the probe or when readings seem inaccurate.Storage & Handling:Store bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep bottles tightly sealed when not in use. Do not use solutions past expiration date. For best accuracy, allow solutions to reach room temperature (25°C/77°F) before use.Note: For three-point calibration, add Milwaukee MA9010 pH 10.01 buffer solution (sold separately). Do not contaminate solutions by dipping used probes directly into bottles—always pour into a separate container.
