Hydroponic nutrients and plant food additives are often acidic and can leave residue on probe surfaces over time. Regular cleaning prevents buildup that can cause slow, unstable, or inaccurate readings.
Cleaning your probes weekly—especially when using pH pens, EC meters, or combo meters daily—helps maintain reliable measurement and extends electrode lifespan.
Prepare the Solution
Pour enough AUSTRALIAN SCIENTIFIC Cleaning Solution into a clean container to fully submerge the electrode tip.
Soak the Electrode
Place the probe in the solution and allow it to soak for 10–30 minutes to remove residue and nutrient buildup.
Rinse Thoroughly
Remove the probe and rinse thoroughly using distilled, RO, or deionised water.
Recalibrate or Store
After cleaning, recalibrate the meter if required or store the probe according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Discard Used Solution
Always discard the used solution. Do not return it to the bottle.
🔁 Cleaning Frequency: Use weekly when meters are used daily
⚠️ When to Clean: If readings become slow, erratic, or unstable
🧴 Storage: Do not store electrodes in cleaning solution
🔬 After Cleaning: Store probes in a proper storage solution such as 4M KCl
