Neptune pH Probe Calibration

[Hallowhead]

Howdy,

Can you use any calibration fluid for the neptune pH Probe or does it have to be neptune's ?

I was looking at milwaukees

I use Milwaukee 7ph and 10ph calibration fluid. Brand doesn't matter as long as it is quality.

Perfect thank you!

One thing that I have learned is that it’s better to get the single use packets rather than a large bottle of solution. At first I thought it would be more cost effective to get the large bottles, however I only calibrate my probe maybe once a year. When I went to reuse my large bottles I realized that since they had been unsealed for a year (with the cap on, of course) I was afraid that the pH of the solution might have changed due to contamination from the outside air and/or evaporation. So now I just get the single use packets when I want to calibrate and don’t have to worry about it.

Do you guys use the ph 4, 7, and 10 packets every time you calibrate or can you just use one of them to calibrate the probe?

You need to calibrate with two points. Typically you would use 7 and 10 with the apex because those are the closest to the values we want to measure.

As long as it has a ph of 10 and 7 it will work just fine.

Thanks y'all
