I followed the instructions several times and got 4.01 on both solutions. Then I tested the 4.0 solution and got 3.23. Then tested the 6.68 solution and got 3.98. There is definitely a problem. Do you have a troubleshooting video because it’s not “as easy as that”? TIA

[@standardhydroponicsofficia2519]

what meter are you using? if it is the yellow meter, make sure the water is 25c if you mix powder but the yellow meters will auto adjust for that, the red meters where you dial them in with screw, you can adjust screw, a good idea is to use a apera meter but i didnt tell you that.. lol did you clean it with stoarge solution? this might help as well. keep us in the loop and we will help you out and get results to need to be successfull.

Is callibrating necessary after buying this? Or can you just test directly without the power and later calibrate it if necessary?

[@oneein9183]

This should be answered by some expert.

[@rich1879]

Absolutely necessary to calibrate it after purchasing, and after it sit for a long time, it's just the machine. Machine it does not know how to test anything unless you teach it, basic explanation.

HI Is drinking mineral water good to do the test Or do I have to get distilled water? Thanks

[@boorayin2773]

I don't totally understand how this works as your 6.86 didn't exactly match what the narration was saying (I didn't see any flashing)...but, are there three settings on the device for the three typical solutions? In other words, is there a 4.0 setting on the device that I'd pick and then insert it into the 4.0 solution to tell it that that's what is 4.0? And then the same for the 6.86? Etc. Lastly, is it necessary to use several buffering solutions? Wouldn't it be doing the same thing to just measure the distilled that is (evidently) typically 5.8 and then use one of the solutions to calibrate? Thanks!

I have the meter however I don't have the packages of powder. Will it still work?

[@Sharpless2]

Yes. Just check whoever provides you your drinking water. Usually they have websites that give you all info about it like minerals, ppm, pH, temps, etc. If your provider says its 7,4 and your meter says 7,4 ± 0,01 then its perfectly fine.

I purchased this for a singular purpose - to provide people with a means to consume water that is both healthy and safe. I possess three pH Buffer Powders: 4.00, 6.86, and 9.18. Is it necessary to use the pH 9.18 powder to test drinking water? (I am aware that the recommended pH range for safe drinking water is between 6.5 and 8.5.) Should I perform calibration each time before utilizing it? Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.

Do we need to recalibrate our ph meter over time?

[@daved5023]

You can be the judge of that, if you see big swings in ranges whe. You test, best to recalibrate the pen. How ever, with my blue labs pen, I'll make sure I store the pen lid with a solution. Storage solution, but if you take our ph down from Standard Hydroponics, you fill a cap of water and add 2 drops of ph dow to it, then add 2 or 3 drops in the lid for ph pen. Tadda.. you have a storage solution hack. 2.9 to 3.0 ph for the solution.

May I know how deep to dip this in the liquid

[@standardhydroponicsofficia2519]

as long as the probe is covered.

[@olheghtt]

How much of the calibrating powders do they give you, do you have to calibrate every time before you use it?

[@standardhydroponicsofficia2519]

one pack each calibration, there hard to import due to the chemicals restrictions now by carriers same with batteries. so you can buy the powereds in bulk and make sure to get storages soultion to keep meter in good use and will last longer, probes will last one yr and those are the $900 meters for labs so cheaper probes will last 6 months to one yr. its like oil change in car, it is just someing that needs to be changed.

[@jeff97254]

should the water be exactly 25°C when you put the meter in?

for every 5c you will get a 0.02 ph difference reading on your ph meter. so its no biggies. happy growing

if you calibrate it once it will not hurt to cal it again, and for storage solution, little hack is to have a small cup or lid filled with water and drop ph to 3.2 and use one drop from that soltuion in the ph meter cap.

Temp check the water, how ever you could have a crap pH meter , the yellow ones are shotty, sorry, this is why we don't sell them any more and we use blue labs or a hanna pH meter. water temp will change pH reading by about 0.02 for every 5 degrees. +/-

[@standardhydroponicsofficia2519]

wait... you said 4.0 that is fine if your calibrating in 4.01 solution. or do you mean it will still say 4.0 pH when you place in the tap water?

mine always defaults to 4.01 regardless which buffer solution i use to calibrate, even when i immerse it in the 9.1 buffer solution... 🙁

get a blue labs ph meter, the yellow ones tend to not blink and calibration. that could be the reason.

Maybe the high cold/hot temperature of the solution is interfering with the pH reading. Also, it could be faulty within the device, needs a battery change, the cup or distilled water is contaminated by ionic compounds, or the sachets have a defect.

The reader comes PRECALIBRATED. Make sure electrode isnt dry and just use it. It will be accurate to at least 0.1 ph. If you need to calibrate it for higher accuracy do not do it how he did. In the instructions it says it takes about 30 seconds for the reading to stabilize. You cant callibrate it immediately after touching the solution or you are just randomly changing numbers. This guy doesnt know what hes talking about please watch a different video. You do NOT have to recalibrate the reader every use. Read the instructions it came with. Make sure the electrode doesnt dry out. If it does soak it in distilled water for a few hours. All this is in the instructions it came with. Read the instructions first. Then watch a different video.
