Can the electrode cleaning solution be used to clean a constant in-tank probe for increased longevity?

Hello, Yes any electrode should be cleaned prior to calibration, and regularly for increased accuracy and longevity. Any algae, detritus, calcification or other biological film can prevent proper parameter analysis from an electrode. Regular cleaning and calibration is critical for maintaining accurate results and prolonging the life of any electrode.
