Thank you! I bought two of these, neither one told you to quick press calibrate once or twice more. You’re the best!

Unfortunately the calibration procedure as shown in this video is WRONG! This is why so many people in the comments have problems with correct readings. Yes, you hold the calibration button down for 5 seconds as indicated in the video. Then the calibration pH will show (e.g. 6.86) BUT YOU WILL NEED TO LEAVE THE PH METER IN THE SOLUTION UNTIL CALIBRATION IS COMPLETE!!!!!!!! The calibration for the pH point is completed once the display stops flashing and goes to solid. This may take several seconds! NOW IT IS CALIBRATED. Taking the pH meter out right away and looking at the display as shown in the video will NOT, I repeat, will NOT calibrate the instrument. You must leave the instrument in with the displayed pH until the flashing stops. You can simply retest by now inserting the instrument into the solution without the CAL button being pressed. It should show the pH of the solution as indicated. If you calibrate with only the 6.86 solution your readings will be accurate to 0.1pH. For accuracy to 0.01pH you will need to calibrate using ALL 3 solutions. This is called a 3 point calibration.

Hello so it's not necessary to calibrate with the 3 powders? Does it also work with calibrate with just 1 powder? The only difference is accuracy 0.1 or 0.01? I think 0.1 is also fine then...

omg lifesaver! i'm just here trying to figure out the instructions for my new pH meter and saw your video. The stars must have aligned 🤣because you have the exact same one as me with the 3 buffer powders. thankyou so much! it was doing my head in lol

Thank you. The cal instructions with these cheap ph meters leave a lot to be desired.

Thanks for the terrific video. Great information!

0:50 I can’t imagine where you got this idea but that’s not a glass vial full of water in the tip and the cap doesn’t keep anything from drying out. The piece of glass in there is just an insulator for the small sensor inside it and the cap is to keep it clean and protect from scratches.

Well done! Always help to have a visual! Just received mine to test spa water. Also, mine was German made (live in Germany) and the written instructions have me using the ph 4.0, then 6.86, then 9.18. However the diagram part of the instructions have the 6.86 first like you, so that’s what I’m going with! Thx again!

Thank you ma'am. Used your method and it worked.

Thank God! Somebody I understand. Thank you. I did see Uwe Kackstaetter's post about not removing the meter until the flashing stops. Otherwise it won't calibrate. For cannabis grow can't I just use the one needed packet verses all 3 packets. I still don't understand it all. I'm determined though. :)

What part of the nine one eight you call home great video btw I have a different meter still had to calibrate but I only had to use two different buffer solutions

Awesome thank you. Should I calibrate this as soon as I get this ?

So what do you do to recalibrate once you have used the packages?

I have that meter but it won’t zero out! Any ideas?? Thanks for the awesome video and your time and expertise!!🙏🏻🙏🏻

hey YouGrowGirl, how is the unit so far? thanks for the info interestingly, my KWODE PH Meter Digital PH Tester Pen has slightly different direction instead of seconds, I'm supposed to put it into the cal buffer solution, stir, wait until the unit stabilizes and then press cal for 2 secs and read the pen. hmmmm, guess they changed up the directions, i got mine in 2020

Hi how much powder do u put on each 250 ml water? Do you put also the whole 250 ml sachet on the water?

Excellent thank you just did it 👍

Super super good video very clear and concise with with the calibration directions I do have a question though. So what every single time I have to recalibrate I have to order these three packets of solution?

Awesome thanks

After this calibration, everytime test whatever liquid also need to press cal to get the result or just put it and wait the number get stable?

That was a killer video thank you helped me calibrate my pH meter perfectly what is your recommendation as far as recalibrating I bought a pack of the recalibration solution like a 15 pack. How often do you think I should recalibrate

This video Umm.. was Umm.. very Umm.. Helpful Umm.. I Umm.. really Umm.. Learned Umm.. a lot Umm

very good instructions!

just bought those packets to calibrate my ph meter like that one...but .are you mixing those packets w/ 250 ml of water?.. isn't 250 ml water like 8.454 oz of water ?..those cups look smaller

After first time calibration, is the meter has any mechanism to save the settings or it will be set all the time if we want to test the after some time.?

do you use coco?

Ok I am confused at the end...when do you turn it off and then can use it?

They didn’t send the third calibration package. Can I still calibrate without it?

Wat do u use to wide the diode ?

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

How often do you have to calibrate the meter? I'm using it to test the pH of shampoo

Should I do this when I purchase them? Before the first use ?

Incorrect procedure...you need to leave it in the solution until it stops flashing as per instructions...the flashing is when its calibrating NOT when pressing for 5 sec. as that is just done to enter calibration mode. That's why the reading was all over the place after cuz it was trying to calibrate the air.

If i cant calibrate my meter can i just do math and + or - the 0.04 that the meter is stuck on?

NO! Read the back of the packets. They say you can put the buffered PH water in a container and label it for future use. You do not have to keep buying buffering solutions. I just did this today, find 3 empty water bottles or whatever and label them.

My unit does not have a small screwdriver to turn something to recalibrate. So if my reading is not accurate, how do I recalibrate it?

since only one set of the poweders comes with the meter can the solution be saved for future use or would the PH of the solutions change over time?

I’m guessing you can reuse the solutions, that’s what my instructions said.

I calibrated same process which is shown. But the 9.18 reading is not stable witch shown on buffer powder. What's the reason of not stability on 9.18.

So what if they aren’t calibrated? How do we calibrate them?

Even while holding for 5 seconds in 6.88 solution it doesn't show that ph, it's not getting calibrated at all. I have a digital ph meter. What should I do?

does the room have to be 25dc? i just done this at 16dc

Hi, do we have to do this everytime before testing it in other solution?

Do we need recalibrate our ph meter once it’s calibrated?

Hi did you use plastic explosives to dissolve the saches in the distilled water , it looks like sea sand. Im havving problems getting that shit to dissolve.

I lost my calibrate powder.. can I purchase anywhere?

What happens if calibration isn’t done at all?
