Leaving Probe in Sump permanently?


Alok

Recommended Posts

I leave the probe of my Pinpoint Salinity Monitor in my sump permanently. Note that the monitor is usually off, but this way I just have to flick it on to see how things are.

 

The probe has started to get stuff encrusted on it. Is this a problem? Should I periodically pull it out and wash it?

 

Note that other items in the sump, including any power cords submerged in in, are also starting to get encrusted...

 

Advice?

Does yours actually work? I bought one but could never get it to calibrate...

 

It's probably a good idea to rinse it off periodically. I leave my pinpoint PH probes in all the time.

 

If you do decide to remove it, I believe you need to keep it wet and there's a special cap that enables this.

I believe the special cap for the Ph probe, not for the Salinity probe.
