You might want to start a new thread, you will get more replies that way.

Just change the KCL in the electrode...that should fix it. If it doesn't then probe membrane is shot

KCL? Potassium chloride? lol I have no idea what that is. How do I do that? I'll try a Google search...

Most likely the probe is shot if it keeps drifting after recalibration. For the Milwaukee unit buying a new probe ($50 according to J&L) is almost as much as buying a brand new pH meter ($62).

The next pH meter I get will one with a probe which you can replace with a standard generic pH probe with a BNC connection (you can find them for about $20-$25) when it dies.

Ya, I contacted J&L about replacing the tip. Not worth it. I will probably just end up buying a Pinpoint pH monitor.

Potassium Chloride is the solution they use inside the electrodes.
