The Milwaukee PRO pH meter offers:

Accuracy

People choose the digital PRO+ pH Meter to improve the accuracy of  their pH testing program. With two point calibration, the meter can be  quickly calibrated to a higher accuracy compared with one point  calibration. (The MW102 meter is accuracy to ± 0.02 pH and reads to 0.01)   5x more accurate than some alternative meters.

The meter comes with both a pH probe and temperature probe allowing  the meter to automatically adjust the pH reading for the effect of  temperature.

The temperature probe can also be used as a very accurate thermometer.

Toughness

The rugged, digital pH meter is built to take knocks.

Low maintenance

The PRO+ pH meter comes with the Milwaukee SE220 pH probe. The SE220  is Milwaukee's top selling lab grade electrode for a reason. Designed to  be both low maintenance (gel filled) and able to withstand more  challenging samples (double junction). The SE220 is ideal for use in  beer making, winemaking and hydroponics.

Care and Use 

pH meters usually start performing poorly because of problems with  the probe. The two parts of the pH probe that cause problems are the  glass sensing bulb and the reference junction.

Sensing bulb

The glass bulb loses sensitivity with use and will eventually fail. This is true of all pH probes.

Reference junction

The reference junction is a small hole that allows the meter to  compare the sample to a reference. The reading is generated based on the  electrical difference between the sample and reference. If the junction  hole gets clogged, the pH electrode will no longer function. You can extend the life of your pH electrode in the following ways.

Storage

The pH probe needs to be kept hydrated. Long periods of dry storage  will damage the sensitivity of the probe. Allowing the probe to dry out  may also result in the junction hole getting clogged.

Storing in pH probe storage solution MA9015 or pH calibration buffers  will help address both these issues. 

Do not store in tap water and DI  water. This will damage the sensitivity of the probe.

The best way to store the probe is with the probe's cap filled with  storage solution or calibration buffer and the cap tightened to prevent  leakage. It is also recommended that to store the electrode upright to  further reduce the potential for leakage.

Cleaning

Residue from the sample can impact the sensitivity of the sensing  bulb and clog the junction. This is especially true if the sample has a  lot of organic material. We recommend regularly soaking your electrode  in cleaning solution MA9016.

Calibration

The pH sensing bulbs become less sensitive over time so make sure  that you are calibrating regularly to keep your PRO Plus pH meter  accurate. Also, calibrate after cleaning or a long period of storage. Calibrate at the start of each daily use and whenever readings look suspicious.

BD1 Bev Doc Economy PH Meter. Tough and Accurate. $49.95

SE220 Rugged and Accurate Replacement Probe. M.A.P. $45

M10004 pH 4.01 Buffer Calibration Solution (20ml Sachets - $1.25)

 

Looking for an easy to use pH  meter at a great price? The Bev Doc is here to help you get the perfect pH. The Bev Doc will get you a very accurate reading with its 0.01  pH             resolution.                    

The calibration process couldn't be easier to perform, just place the probe in the buffer solution closest to pH of the sample you'll be testing and press the button!              

     ( It is highly recommended  that 3mol/Litre KCL Storage Solution (BD2)  is purchased    with this pH meter.)               

To ensure the pH meter measures  accurately, the electrode must be stored in KCL storage solution and the electrode must be rehydrated prior to first time use, after the  electrode has been in storage for a long period of time, or has dried  out.   

Calibrate at the start of each daily use and whenever readings look suspicious.  This pH meter also includes ATC  (Automatic Temperature   Compensation) so you don't have to get your sample all  the way down to room temperature before you take your readings.        

3-point calibration allows this unit to be calibrated at three  different standard levels - 4.00, 6.86 or 9.18.                 

These standards are  included   with the pH meter. and refill     packs (BD4) are available.     

The Bev Doc features a  replaceable probe (BD3) in case yours is lost or damaged.    


Homebrewing can be a tough  environment for your pH probe so you shouldn't have to buy a whole new pH meter everytime your  probe breaks. The cap that holds the probe storage solution has a very tight seal and should prevent your probe from drying out while not in use. Don't worry about getting this meter wet either, because   the entire unit is waterproof!

BD3 Replacement Probe for Bev Doc pH Meter $14.95

  

This is the replacement electrode probe for the Bev Doc Pen Style pH Meter.               

 (Part: BD3 - $14.95)                         

We all know that home brewers and winemakers are pretty tough on pH Meters, very quickly reducing the life of your probe.

Also the thin glass membrane of a probe can easily be damaged if dropped or mistreated.

As a result we always recommend that home brewers buy a pH meter where you can purchase the replacement probes separately.

This probe type comes with a small piece of sponge in the cap.  The sponge has already been saturated with PH storage solution (KCl - 3 mol/L).  This storage solution can be purchase separately. (Part: BD2)

It’s very important that in order to keep your probe in the best possible condition,always keep the glass bulb end of the probe moist in storage solution.  For the same reason the probe cap has an water tight o-ring seal so it keeps the solution from drying out in the cap.  If the probe dries out it will also significantly start to reduce the life of the probe and the accuracy of your results.

How often should I do pH Calibration?

    

To be the most accurate, you should calibrate before each  use. However, most units will hold calibration very well. If you are  using your unit everyday, then check it once each day. If you get a  reading that is above or below what you were expecting, then check the  calibration at that point and retest your solution.


 

Can I reuse my pH calibration solution

    

No, evaporation and contamination quickly change the mix making your calibration inaccurate.

How do I know when to replace my pH probe?

    

A failing pH probe will be slow to show a result and will be difficult to calibrate.

A simple test can be performed using Windex glass cleaner with ammonia, and any type of soft drink.

The procedure is as follows.

Step 1: Turn your meter or tester on

Step 2: Place the probe in a soft drink. Soft drink is acidic and should have a reading in the range of 2.7 to 3.9 pH.

Step 3: Then place the probe Windex with ammonia. Windex is alkaline and  your reading should move very quickly up the scale to a point above  10.0.

If the reading slowly moves up the scale, then it is time to consider  replacing the electrode the pen / tester if it does not have a  replaceable probe.

MA9016 Cleaning Solution for Electrodes (230ml/8oz - $12.00)

MA9007 pH Buffer 7.01 Calibration Solution (8ozs-$12)

MA9016 Cleaning Solution for Electrodes (230ml/8oz - $12.00)

 

MA9016 is a lab grade electrode cleaning solution prepared with  premium chemicals to improve the performance and extend the life of  your pH and ORP electrodes, testers and pens.

 

Your accuracy and speed of your results are dependent on your pH  sensing bulb and ORP platinum tip being clean. pH and ORP electrodes  also need a free flowing junction to function.

Milwaukee's cleaning solution helps both keep sensing parts clean and  the junction open. Simply open the bottle, fill a beaker or container  so that the level covers the sensor and junction, and soak for 15 to 20  minutes followed by a soaking in MA9015 storage solution for at least 2  hours.
