STORING EC PEN IN PH SOLUTION??

[ZKJ]

Hey im trying to figure something out n cant find a answer online.
Ive got a ph/ec pen in one, and it has ph storage solution in the cap, will this effect the reading of the ec bit?

I think it turned the metal probes abit blackish but not sure if was already like it. (Should of checked)

Cheers

Just give it a good rince before use also them probes do look a big weird I would give it a little clean with either the solution or water I use a soft brissled tooth brush also it looks like a great meter

Hello the storage soultion is potssuim cloride which corrodes metal it is only ment for the glass bowl of the ph pen not for the E.C metal pins

Hey sound for that, would the metal pins be ruined now?
N should i store the ph probe n pins in water or just use a seperate ec meter not stored in nothing

Cheers

You could try rubbing them with a scotch pad that might clean them up but they are prob fckd i would use sep ec meter and store it dry

That begs the question of how you are to protect the pH component of a combo meter without damaging the EC component.

How do companies like Bluelab do it and offer a 5 year warranty? It could be that the Chinese company making these made a poor design choice in the material.

To the OP. D you know someone with a known working EC meter you can compare against to verify the EC probe is still working?
