Bluelab Conductivity Probe Cleaning Kit

Bluelab EU Tester Cleaning Kit

Clean the conductivity probe regularly to ensure accurate readings.

Regular care and maintenance of your Bluelab conductivity probes is important to ensure accurate readings. Salts and organic oils can build up on the probe, blocking the sensors, so if your EC or ppm readings seem off, vary, or you have an error message on your conductivity pen, your probe probably needs care and cleaning.

Check and clean your pen once a month for best results.

How to clean Bluelab conductivity (EC/PPM) probes.

1. Remove the cap
For the Bluelab Truncheon, rotate the cover 90 degrees and remove it.
For Bluelab conductivity probes, warm the cap in your hand for a few seconds to aid in removal. Hold the body and gently pull the cover.

2. Clean the probe face
Place 1 or 2 drops of Conductivity Probe Cleaner on the face of the probe. Rub firmly with Bluelab Chamois.

3. Rinse the face of the probe
Rinse off all traces of detergent under running tap water while scrubbing the surface of the probe with Bluelab Chamois.

4. Check that the water forms a thin layer
There should be no drops of water on the face of the probe. If there are droplets, repeat steps 2 and 3.

5. Replace the cap and test
Test in 2.77 EC standard conductivity solution to ensure cleaning is adequate. Place the probe in the solution and wait for the reading to stabilize to a constant value.

This may take several minutes for the probe to adjust to the temperature of the solution.

If the reading is not within 0.1EC/1CF of 2.8EC, repeat steps 2 through 4 until the test is within range.
