EVERY PH SENSOR NEEDS PH STORAGE SOLUTION!!!

If you are buying an expensive pen and not buying the cheap storage solution, then you are throwing money away. I use a cheap pen, but I also use storage solution. My cheap pens last a long time, and I can buy a few of them to check against each other is there's any question.

If you are real cheap, you can just make your own storage solution: https://www.rollitup.org/t/make-your-own-ph-probe-storage-solution.999889/

THIS!
All ph meters will dry out if not stored correctly folks. 2 drops in the cap after use each day and your meter will last.
 
My recent DOA cheappo one lasted for about 6 months then the last time I went to calibrate it (I was doing that every week and storing in water, not the 'special' storage fluid), It wouldn't grab the 6.86 solution and was only calibrating it to 9pH. It would calibrate to 4.0 but the others were useless.

I took that as a sign from god to get a Bluelab pen...which I think is probably worth it but you have to factor in the storage fluid, a set of calibration fluids, etc.

The cheapest I've seen the Bluelab meter is ~63$ but of course, factor in the additional 30$ worth of bottles...
Never store in water, RO and distilled are the worst! Since they have almost no ions, they tend to leach ions from the solution in the probe.

Good ph meters cost some money. Blue Lab is good, but nothing special. I'm still using the original probe with my Milwaukee MW102 after 4 years and recently bought an Apera PH80. Instead of spending money on buffer solutions I spent it on meters that don't need constant calibration.
Rant over. lol
 
I’ll keep it real with anyone reading. I NEVER knew until today PH meters were supposed to be stored in solution. I even thought hm this “decent” 30 dollar vivosun one seems to have extra room in the sealing cap, for some reason. To hold that solution. I’d always shake my meter off after use to hopefully dry. Who knows man. I know a proper meter surely is ideal. Thanks for all the info. I’ll order some solution and try to calibrate with one of those 6.2 or 9. Whatever packs.

Just make sure that the calibration solution is what your meter wants to calibrate to. My old one was 6.86, 4.00, 9.00, but my new one is 7 & 4 I think...
 
They have been that price a while but good luck getting them to your house. I ordered 15 a few weeks back for a little project in my backyard and they shipped them in 5 separate boxes, 3 per box. 2 of those 5 boxes made it to me and the others were all deemed undeliverable and returned. 2 of those 3 returned made it all the way to an Amazon distribution center very close to me before they sent it back.
