Because unless you reduce the area of exposure to the water, it will peg the meter every time and calibration is impossible. You have to space the contacts about 1 inch apart and only expose the tip. Otherwise, the reading will increase and decrease according to how deep you dip the contacts in the water-- and most often the meter will just peg. Feel free to experiment. That's just the way I did it.
