I don't know of any advancements that preclude the use of storage solution. Distilled water will work in a pinch, but make sure to rinse with tap water before turning on.

Remember that RO and distilled water will harm the pen if you test them for ph/tds, always put something in the water before testing RO/distilled water.

Thank you!

So my meters came in last night, and I have a fairly dumb question.
Neither one (ph or tds) says anything about using a storage solution. But I remember always keeping our ph pen soaking.

pH is usually kept wet and tds doesn't have to. I don't use storage solution. I just keep the cap on and it stays wet since I check pH daily
