Readings on the probe were good for about 4 days. This evening they seem to be all over the place. Haven't had this issue before with a PH probe.
Any recommendations? Return?

Check that connections are clean and solid. Try to calibrate again. My two probe failures were solid readings but way off the chart. This looks like bad connection/wiring...but not the Apex probe expert.

After that I'd log a support request. Might take a day or two to get an appt but they were great to work with once got connected.
 
pH probes should have instructions to recalibrate after a week.
 
If you moved your wiring around, you may have put a probe cable on or under a power cable. Power cables can cause interference.
 
I recalibrated this evening and I seem to have more stable results. I also double checked all wiring and made sure power cables were distanced. Thanks for the tips all!
If I run into more troubles, I'll keep this post updated.
