ZOMG my pH is 8.65!! (Solved:bad calibration solution)

Not to get to far off topic, but what kind of test kit is this you are using. Looks really nice lol. Thanks.

 

I have been thinking about this. Im gonna order different calibration solution from different source. I just wanna get to the bottom of this.

I use two different small containers to calibrate. When Im done, Ill discard them of course. I stuck the probe in RODI now. It should be close to 7.0 pH, correct? Thanks for your input!

 

Thanks, Rick, what you said totally makes sense!! I appreciate your input!!

 

Hey Smitty! lol
It's Red Sea test kit.

 

Which one is it?? Just wanted to compare what it is by API.

It's definitely NOT purple! But it's showing 8.44 on Apex now, so it's definitely off. Im gonna order calibration liquids.

 

I have no idea which one it is lol. That is why I hate API test kits.

 

I completely agree! lol

 

I would have to say 7.9 though if I was guessing.

 

I freaking hate the API pH tests.-__-

 

Yeah, but the point here is it's NOT 8.4 like the Apex says. So Im gonna stop being paranoid about this! I will update on this as soon as I get a hold of different calibration solution.

Thanks guys!! K+ for everyone!
