Old PH Pen is Damage. Which one I need know?

[Fiete]

Hi my New Adwa Elektrode is Damage after 4 weeks it's sucks so much. Which one you prefere?

METER - Bluelab Multimedia pH Meter (Leap Probe Included) PH ONLY

The perfect, portable way to accurately measure and monitor pH levels in a wide range of media.

Expensive but imo worth it.
Replaceable probe, long lead and fast readout. The display is not water proof though

Also you need cleaning and calibration kits and storage solution. It costs a lot up front but is worth the money in my opinion

It also does direct soil or hydro ph measurements

Did you buy the calibration solutions and cleaners? It's very important to keep the probe wet during storage in kcl solution and rinse off after each use , calibrate and clean monthly

I habe bought PH 4 and PH 6.8 250ml calibrate solution and today KCL solution too. A Freund told me the PH it's best to store it in PH4 solution and 1 times a month store in KCL in 24 hours than Calibrate again.

 

[cobshopgrow]

you should always store them in KCL, second best is pH 4.

You need to get the cleaner solutions too. The probe will not calibrate correctly if you don't clean it proper

Glad you're getting your new probe!

Cleaner solution?

I've not seen that in any manual, just rinse and store in proper storage solution.

If you look on their page they sell a cleaner solution. If your probe is dirty it won't be a precise calibration. Maybe the brand you have doesn't have it in the instructions but cleaner solution is a thing, if I didn't have it I would still use a soft nylon tooth brush and some sort of natural cleaner to make sure there is no gunk built up on the probe

Here is the solution the site for the probe feite ordered

Also bluelab has a cleaner kit for the ph probes and ppm probes which is how I found out about it

How is the name of the cleaning solution?

Hey guy's

Can I use for cleaning the electrode a cosmetic brush looking better for cleaning..

 

[thenasty1]

hanna groline combo
theres a stick version and a box+probe version, both are excellent

 

[Fiete]

This Adwa Electrode is a Piece of Shit!!! After the second buy the next electrode is damage after good calibration and KDL storage the electrode show a ph 8.0 solution under PH 2.0 and don't let it calibrate again what a shame....



I bought a cheap one for 14 buck's let's see how it works

 

[cindysid]

I hate ph meters! I've bought $14-$250 models. All difficult to maintain and less than trustworthy. Will try the Hanna next...ugh

Yeah i have no experience with that probe

But all the other stuff you bought should be universal I hope

Make sure to reach out to them, and ask for a return or replacement

For 130$... this is a steal!!!! Ppm probe and all included.
The ppm pen is pretty bullet proof, I've had mine at least 8 years and it is rarely too far from calibration

The ph pen however I did have one fail on me and the 2nd was a little wacky and read slow. I love my leap probe it is working great

Yeah, they have to give my money back wirh the adwa that's for sure. I belive the cheap one will works have to calibrate Every 2 weeks but no problem. I can refund this one too test it out for a month
