cleaning solution

what is a good cleaning solution for a ph/tds/temp pen tester ?

i want to keep it clean , it was expensive

Distilled water is best. I also store both my PH and PPM meter in their buffer solution to keep the tips moist..Hope this helps!

They do make a cleaning solution, store it like Dragracer does.

Follow the meter manufacturer's instructions to the Tee because they designed and built it and they sure know how to clean and store it.

The advice here is good, but not a substitute for following the manufacturer's instructions.

Great smoking.

uh, that is where I got my info, in the instructions....

most manufactures say to use there brand of storage solution.. or as dragracer pointed out distilled water. to save on solution you can mix it 1/2 distilled water and 1/2 solution.

I only clean the tips with distilled water per the instructions between reservoir testing. I store each with a little piece of a cotton ball in the cap soaked in their respective buffer solution which is used to calibrate the instrument to keep the tips moist which is the most sensative part. Hope this helps

there are some meters that you shouldnt store in distilled water and there others that should be stored in distilled water, read the manual and store as they recommend. general rule is never to let it dry and if you want the best storage purchase the storage solution.
