, and
Adjust the chlorine to 0%. Go back to the display screen.
Rinse the probe carefully in clean water.
Insert the probe into a 465mV standard solution and stir gently. Observe the
voltage on the label, which corresponds to the ambient temperature at that
time. Wait for the reading of the ORP value displayed on the screen to stabilize.
Check that the value does not differ by more than about 10 mV of the value
indicated on the label. If the value is incorrect, it can be attempted to
regenerate the probe by cleaning it. In any event, annual cleaning is always
advisable.
-
Stir the probe in a glass of water, in which a spoonful of dishwashing
detergent has been mixed. Rinse well in clean water.
-
Mix a commercial brand of hydrochloric acid at 23% in a glass, with
four times its volume of water. Leave the probe in the solution for a
few minutes, stirring from time to time.
-
Thoroughly clean the probe in pure, preferably distilled water. Shake
the probe to remove the water.
Recheck the value of the probe. A probe that gives an error lower than around
30 mV can continue to be used provisionally while it is replaced.
Never leave the probe outside. If the probe has been dry for a time, it can be
regenerated with the hydrochloric acid solution.
6.3- Checking and maintenance of the pH probe
It is recommended to clean and check the probe at least once a year. Stir it in a
glass of water in which a spoonful of detergent has been dissolved. Then wash
it under the tap and leave it for a few hours in a glass of water in which 1 cm
