Happy Friday Randy!
I have 2 PH meter's, one a Milwaukee and the other a pinpoint. The Milwaukee probe is about 3 months old, and I am not sure on the pinpoint as it was bought used, though it was stated at 3 months also and still wet when purchased. The Milwaukee always seemed to read correctly, until about a week ago--I look at it and it said 7.6, after just an hour or so earlier said 8.3. Not sure what happened to that one. The Pinpoint has read .2-.3 higher consistently, and did not change when the Pinpoint went nuts. I then re calibrated both monitors with Milwaukee 10.01 and 7.01. The pinpoint still read high..8.5 8.6 and the Milwaukee read the same 7.6. I think both meters are reading wrong, now my question is that even though they I was able calibrate both correctly, can the probe still be bad? I have read your article on PH monitors and solutions...
