Did you let it dry out? Mine has lasted a long time + super fast and accurate readings. My yellow milwaukee pen can take up to 90 SECONDS to get to the same PH. It takes a lot of time, but it gets there eventually. And needs to be calibrated every 2 weeks.

edit- the blulab is guaranteed for 5 years and the probe 6 months. If it lasted 3 months, you can get a new one.

who spends 150$ then throws it away after 3 months? Or did you buy it used? or did you make this entire story up?

took the bluelab up to the neighborhood hydro store where i bought it- no questions asked, no receipt needed, just handed me a new one. will keep the $8 as a backup
yes dudeman i made this story up because i have nothing better to do

I bought a bluelab.

Goodjob going with the bluelab...I've had 4 ph pens, and havent found one as accurate as this. I think the key to any ph pen is keeping the probe clean and moist.
I just liked the warranty, and I too bought it in stores so I could easily swap and return it if I needed to.. I see that big liverski did the same

its your one-shot no fuss/no bending into ur res meter....tds, ec, ph.....everything you'll need.
and don't listen to the stupid hydro store or directions....throw that bitch in your res...the probe that is....its waterproof. despite what the directions say. =) ( which say only to submerge the bottom 4 inches of the probe in water or some bull honkey like that)
