Care & Maintenance
pH meters typically fail due to issues with the probe's glass sensing bulb or reference junction. Proper maintenance extends probe life and ensures accurate results.
Storage Best Practices:
Always store probe in storage solution MA9015 (never distilled or RO water)
Fill probe cap with storage solution or calibration buffer before sealing
Store electrode upright to prevent leakage
Keep probe hydrated—dry storage damages sensitivity and clogs the junction
Short-term tap water storage acceptable only if MA9015 unavailable
Cleaning:
Soak probe in cleaning solution MA9016 for 20 minutes regularly
Clean more frequently when testing samples with organic material
Residue buildup impacts sensing bulb sensitivity and clogs the junction
Calibration:
Calibrate regularly as pH sensing bulbs lose sensitivity over time
Always calibrate after cleaning or extended storage
Use electrode diagnostics feature to check probe condition
Take advantage of 5-point calibration for maximum accuracy
Recommended: Order the Milwaukee pH Maintenance Kit (code PH-Main) at checkout to clean and condition your pH electrode for peak performance and extended lifespan.
