Probe St orage
1) Under regular usage (daily or weekly use), make sure the probe cap is wet, and tightly close the cap with the O-ring.
2) For long-term storage (you are not going to use the product for a while), add 3M KCL soaking solution to the Fill
line in the probe cap and store the probe in it. Close on the probe cap tightly with the O-ring.
3) If you find white crystals inside or outside the probe cap, it is perfectly normal. It is the 3M KCL soaking solution that
crystalizes over time by its nature. Just rinse them off and add in new soaking solution. This chemical is not
poisonous nor dangerous, and the probe’s performance will not be affected at all.
4) NEVER store the probe in pure water like tap, RO, distilled, or deionized water as they could damage the pH probe.
If this happens, immediately soak the pH probe Apera 3M KCL soaking solution overnight, then re-calibrate it before
using. Pure water is only for rinsing the probe.
