probes

[Chipie]

I have a question about probes. How long do the probes(lab grade and regular) usually last?

anything other than pH and redox providing maintained the life of the tank really.

pH are degenerative and have an average life of 1-2 years
Redox about 2-3 years

1 year is usually how long my ph probes last. After that it can fluctuate allot and get really hard to calibrate.

1 year is about right "on average". I've seen them last a good bit longer but most people start looking to replace around the 1 year mark or as windcoast mentioned when they start to fluctuate. When you're needing to calibrate often it's time to replace.

Is there any difference from GHL pH probes and other brands? Would GHL last longer?

 

[AQD_ottawa]

Yes they will. Very high grade.
