Nutrient Probe Cleaning Kit

Probe cleaning is one of the most important parts of owning or operating any Bluelab meter, monitor or controller.

If the probe is contaminated or dirty, it affects the accuracy of the reading displayed. The Bluelab Truncheon® Meter and Bluelab Conductivity Probes read low when the probe is contaminated.

The probe surface is where the instrument takes the reading of the solution. The information is sent back from the probe to the electronic brain of the instrument. A calculation is then done in the instruments brain or micro-computer and a reading is then displayed. If the information sent back from the probe is inaccurate due to probe surface contamination then the reading will be inaccurate.

Cleaning the conductivity probe is a very easy task and prolongs the life of your probe.

Q:	What is the suggested pH range for my hydroponic system and soil plants?
A:	Hydroponic and soil gardens differ in the fact they both need different pH ranges for nutrients to be made available for plant absorption. Maintain a pH between 5.0 and 6.5 for hydroponic gardens and 6.0 to 7.0 for soil applications.

Q:	My pH meter doesn't hold calibration. How often should I recalibrate it?
A:	pH meters do need to be calibrated by the user every day since the membrane does change and is affected by the temperature as well. If pH values are very critical then it will need to be recalibrated several times a day, or before each sample test (depending on how critical the value is). Uncontaminated calibration solution is very important as well. For each calibration, pour some solution in a separate container. Keep out of sunlight and away from heat.
