Anyone Had There Hanna Salinity Checker Go Bad?

Just went to test the tank, rinsed in R/O as normal, check tank, reading 1021, panicked! Checked R/O mix which was 1024 when I mixed it, got a reading of 1021. Panicked again, calibrated the checker 3 times using the Hanna solution, gave me an error each time. Checked tank with the old fashioned pirate telescope. 1024.

It's under warranty, but something 4 months old breaking aint great!

I got mine a year ago when it first came out and it’s been working flawlessly for me. There’s not much to go wrong with it - it’s a temp probe and a couple of carbon electrodes to measure impedance. Have you tried calibrating it?

edit: something else to try is removing the battery for a few minutes then replacing it. I’ve had some devices where doing this allowed it to ‘reset.’ I’d also check to make sure the battery’s still good. Mine still reads > 90% after one year, so I’d be surprised if it is running low, but it’s worth checking

Yep done all the above.

Kinda sounds like it’s buggered - I’d contact Hanna customer service. The only other possibility I can think of is if there’s a reset button inside.
