Should I recalibrate the pH probe by manual calibration?
As for the conductivity probe, it failed every time I tried it this time.
After the last post I made here, my tank started leaking and I ended up replacing my tank. I took everything off line and kept all the probe in a jar of tank water to keep them from drying out. It was like soaking them for awhile after all. When I reconnected my Apex, it failed to connect to wifi. Since the reset button did not work, I connected the Apex via an ethernet cable as Neptune instructed and got my Apex on wifi. Then, I started calibrating the probes. The temp probe works fine, but as I reported above, I am having issues calibrating the conductivity and pH probes.
So, where do I go from here? Should I go through calibration manually? I saw some parameters that I need to set if I were to do so. What should I plug in there? Can I get some recommendations on how to proceed?
