I've just purchased a HI-98127 pH meter, and the instructions say that the probe should be kept in storage solution. Does anyone else have this model, and should there be a sponge in the cap to soak with storage solution? Otherwise, can't see how to keep it moist.
Yes that 1 should have a sponge in the cap , and use 4ph solution or purchase the correct solution for storage , either works . The storage solution is just more acid than 4
Ok. Thanks. Solution is on order. I presume any piece of sponge will do?
I have the HI-98128 and it didn't come with a sponge. I don't really see a need for it since the cap reservoir seals tightly when snapped on.
If it was me I would error on the side of extra moisture surrounding the bulb as if it dries out you have to soak it for an hour to,rehidrate the bulb .
And you just know Murphy will only let it be noticed that it went dry when you have 5 gallons of milk warming.

A sponge will not wrap the bulb because the bulb is surrounded by protection tabs. I keep mine submerged using a shot glass during the cheese make. The cap is just for long term storage.
