Hi Keith

My understanding is that they are submersible.

I however have always played it safe by keeping the dry end above the water.

I do not known if this is true but my understanding is that the probe will last longer if it is cleaned regularly with a soft tooth brush and kept out of any direct light.

I called a local pH manufacturer up one time and was told to store them in Soaker Bottle Solution or use a 4 pH Buffer as they will prolong the life of the sensor.

I use to purchase my sensors on eBay for around $20.00 but was having them fail after a few months (glass looked fine, they just would not calibrate).

Finally I went with a US manufactured product on Amazon and they are a bit more pricy but I am getting 2 - 3 years out of them.


Has anybody seen the new pH meters that turn your iPhone into a pH meter? I am seriously thinking of getting one.
