    Exclamation Ph probe Bad reading after proper calibration

    So here’s the deal I remounted my Apex and moved my probe rack to a different spot in the sump I made sure the probes were submerged the whole time and that the cables did not come in contact with the water I reconnected all the probes and recalibrated my pH probe with 7 and 10 pH Solutions and got a reading that was off by .30 But steady so I submerged my pH probe in hand as all purpose probe cleaning solution and made sure there is no organic build up on the probe tip I recalibrate it again and again it was off.
    I thought to myself obviously my buffering solution is bad so I went and bought new bottle of each I recalibrated it again and guess what that’s right it was up again at this point I bought a new pH probe from Neptune supplier but the probe came dry and was pretty old so I gave it back I bought a tunze Glass pH probe with BNC connection ( amazing quality ) calibrated it and got the same problem I am fed up and don’t know what to do any suggestions??

    What do you mean when you say off by 0.3?

    Did the reading change by 0.3 or was it off by 0.3 in the calibration solution?
