11. After Use
The Sleeve on the Aquaprobe is made in two parts, which separate by unscrewing to allow
cleaning of the individual electrodes.
After every use, remove the
protective Sleeve End Cap (if fitted)
then unscrew the lower half of the
sleeve as shown.
With the lower Sleeve removed, the
individual electrodes are very
vulnerable, so please handle the
Probe with extreme care. If you drop
it, it’s going to break!
Rinse the exposed electrodes and
the insides of the upper and lower
Sleeve under a running cold tap.
Alternatively, agitate the Aquaprobe
vigorously in a bucket or jug of fresh
water using an up and down
movement.
Shake the water from inside the top
and bottom halves of the Sleeve,
then reattach the two halves. Dry the
outside of the Probe using a soft
cloth.
If the Aquaprobe you are using
includes a pH/ORP electrode,
remember to replace the storage
cap after use
.
Failure to do so will damage the electrode. For more details, see
in section 13.
Never clean the Probe with solvents, alcohol or concentrated acid/alkaline based
cleaning products such as Decon 90. These products can strip the anodised finish
from the Probe and damage the plastic and rubber components. Damage caused by
the use of aggressive cleaning agents or solvents is not covered by your warranty.
Store the Probe without the protective Sleeve End Cap fitted in order to allow free air
circulation around the individual electrodes.
TIP:
Occasional application of a smear of silicone grease or similar lubricant to the Sleeve
thread, the protective Sleeve End Cap O ring and the inside rim of the lower Probe Sleeve
will make fitting and removal of the Cap and Sleeve easier.
