The Aquatronica pH4 Calibration Solution 50ml is a buffer fluid used to calibrate Aquatronica pH electrodes for accurate readings in freshwater aquariums. For calibration, this pH4 solution is typically used in conjunction with a pH7 solution.
Features & Benefits:
-
Purpose: Used to calibrate Aquatronica pH electrodes, which are part of a larger aquarium control system.
-
Use case: Best suited for calibrating pH electrodes used in freshwater aquariums.
-
Bottle size: The solution comes in a 50ml bottle.
-
System compatibility: Required for the Aquatronica system to provide reliable pH measurements for an aquarium.
How to use Aquatronica pH calibration solutions:
According to the user manual from GHL Advanced Technology (a system that also uses pH calibration fluids), you will typically use two calibration fluids to calibrate a pH probe.
- Clean the probe with warm water or a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar.
- Start the calibration sequence on your Aquatronica controller.
- Dip the probe into the pH4 calibration solution. Wait for the reading to stabilize and follow the on-screen prompts.
- Rinse the probe thoroughly with clean water to prevent cross-contamination.
- Dip the probe into the pH7 calibration solution and repeat the process.
- Once calibration is complete, the controller will save the settings.
- Rinse the probe again before returning it to the aquarium.
