pH Meter - Suck it with filter paper!

[wayner]

I ordered my reagent refills and saw a pH meter for a good price so I bought it. Reading the instructions, I found this interesting instruction:

How did it go? But seriously, I have the Apera PH-60 and I rinse it with distilled water before/after each use. I then wipe it dry with a paper towel. Nothing oral involved.

Conversion from Chinese did not go so well with those instructions =--------

Question, does your meter have a screw on it?

 

[wayner]

Yes, it has a screw on the back near the clip.

Blot the probe dry with filter paper. I would hazard a guess it stems from good practice with lab pH meters to avoid contamination or dilution of a small sample, but I can’t see any reason why you’d have to blot dry the probe before taking a sample of pool water. Especially if you’re like me and test poolside and just stick the probe in the pool/spa.
