Default A question for TDS pen owners.

Just curious, do you rinse your TDS pens with clean water before keeping them as per the instructions?

My TDS pen was under reading by at least 50 ppm before cleaning the probes.

I will normally dip in distilled water before and after use. Its better to calibrate once every 2 weeks or 4 weeks also.

I think it is a very important step to keep readings correct.

Hi all,

Regarding calibrating the TDS pen, is there any way to calibrate. I am using a aqualife TDS pen but there is no instructions for calibrating..
