    Default PH bug?

    I bought a brandnew electrode a month ago, did a recalibration, measured my KH with drop test.

    PH 6.7
    KH 4

    The problem:
    The CO2 drop checker i bought (also new) indicates i have < 15ppm co2 which is impossible based on the above readings.

    So i did a retest with:
    - different co2 checker fluid
    - different KH test
    - recalibrated electrode

    I retested all things 4 times.

    Same results. Can you please tell me if there might be a problem with the PH calculation formula you use? Any other idea's?

    I had to lower my PH to 6.5 / KH 4 to get 25ppm green color, which according to the co2 table should indicate i have a CO2 of 40(!)

    What did the pH-sensor show when you put it into the calibration fluids after calbration? Have the pH-readings been correct?

    we had this discussion - drop test against industrial pH-probe - several times

    -> if the pH-electrode shows the correct values in the calibration fluids then the probe and the ProfiLux are working 100% perfect and the drop test produces the wrong results
    there is no dedicated pH calculation formula - this is a simple linear 2 point calibration which has been working perfectly for about 10 years now
