MAINTENANCE PROBE STORAGE REGULAR USAGE (DAILY OR WEEKLY) Make sure the probe cap stays moist by closing the probe when not in use. LONG-TERM STORAGE Add 3M KCL solution or pH 4.00 buffer solution up to one quarter of the probe cap.
Page 23
MAINTENANCE PROBE STORAGE PROPER STORAGE NEVER store the probe in tap, RO, distilled, or deionized water. Doing so may damage the probe. If stored in this matter, immediately soak the probe in 3M KCL solution overnight, then re-calibrate it before using your pH meter.

Why is moisture in my new pH meter? New pH meters are stored in a special solution to maintain the integrity of the electrode and its glass membrane. This glass membrane must be kept moist in order for the pH meter to function properly. Why did my pH meter turn off? Your pH meter will automatically turn off after 8 minutes of inactivity.
