CARE
AND USE
pH
meters usually start performing poorly because of problems with the probe.
The two parts of the pH probe that cause problems are the glass sensing
bulb and the reference junction.
SENSING BULB
The
glass bulb loses sensitivity with use and will eventually fail. This is
true of all pH probes.
REFERENCE JUNCTION
The
reference junction is a small hole that allows the meter to compare the
sample to a reference. The reading is generated based on the electrical
difference between the sample and reference. If the junction hole gets
clogged, the pH electrode will no longer function.
You
can extend the life of your pH electrode in the following ways.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
All
pH sensors have a limited life and response time gets longer with age.
Properly maintaining your pH pen tester will give you fast, accurate
results for longer. This will be needed to help clean and
condition the pH electrode before use.
STORAGE
To
minimize clogging the pH probe needs to be kept hydrated. Long periods of
dry storage will damage the sensitivity of the probe. Allowing the probe
to dry out may also result in the junction hole getting clogged.
Storing
in pH probe storage solution or pH calibration buffers will help address
both these issues. Do not store in tap water and DI water. This will
damage the sensitivity of the probe.
The
best way to store the probe is with the probe's cap filled with storage
solution or calibration buffer and the cap tightened to prevent leakage.
It is also recommended that to store the electrode upright to further
reduce the potential for leakage.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Residue
from the sample can impact the sensitivity of the sensing bulb and clog
the junction. This is especially true if the sample has a lot of organic
material. We recommend regularly soaking your electrode in cleaning
solution. Also:
1.
Inspect the electotrode for damage or scratches, if present replace the
electrode.
2.
Inspect the cable. The connection cable and insulation must be
intact.
3.
Connectors should be clean and dry.
4.
Rinse off salt deposits with water or DI water.
CALIBRATION
The
pH sensing bulbs become less sensitive over time so make sure that you are
calibrating regularly to keep your PRO Plus pH meter accurate. Also,
calibrate after cleaning or a long period of storage.
