Is Hanna pH checker accurate?
Hanna’s Marine pH Checker, at a Glance The HI780 Checker®HC (Handheld Colorimeter) is a simple, accurate, and cost-effective way to measure pH in saltwater. pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in your water; the higher the concentration, the more acidic the water is.
How do you clean a Hanna pH probe?
General Cleaning Procedure For general cleaning, soak your pH electrode in the HI7061L General Purpose Cleaning Solution for at least 15 minutes. Then rinse the electrode with water before allowing it to rehydrate in HI70300L storage solution for at least one hour (overnight for best results).
Why is it important to never touch the glass bulb at the end of a pH meter?
Because what the pH meter is actually measuring are tiny, tiny changes in electrical potential. If you wipe the surface of the bulb, you can induce a tiny static electrical charge on the surface of the glass. Though minuscule, this static charge can be large enough to throw your readings off.
