Keeping ph meter wet

[skeeter_ca]

Just bought a Milwalkee PH pen. The instructions say to not let the probe tip dry out and specifies not to use ro/di water. What do you use? Tap water? SW?

I believe some of them recommend the calibration solution.

Do you mean pour it in the cap and close it.

Not familiar with the pen, but the bulb should be stored in pH 4 solution when not in use.

Keep it stored in solution right side up.

Make sure it's turned off, mine is very easy to turn on and has run the batteries down.

I store mine with a bit of damp paper towel, as the manufacturer (Oakton) recommended. There's also electrode storage solutions you can buy. You might want to contact Milwaukee.

i got the ph pen (ph51 model) and when i recieved it, it came with a small card that says,

***Attention***
The instructions for the PH51 - PH52 - PH53 instruct you to "remove the cap and immerse the unit in MA9015 storage soloution for 2 hours." If you do not have MA9015 storage solution you may use bottle drinking water or RO water instead. You should also store the unit in an upright position with bottled water or RO water in the cap."

hope that helps.
