Testo 205 pH Probe Storage Cap with KCL Gel Filling

This genuine Testo storage cap, pre-filled with KCL gel, is designed to keep your Testo 205 pH probe in top condition. It's a critical bit of kit for anyone who relies on accurate pH readings, preventing the probe from drying out and extending its lifespan.

Working with pH meters in Australia means dealing with dusty sites and often quick turnarounds. A probe that's dried out can give you dodgy readings or even fail completely when you need it most. This cap ensures your instrument is always ready to go.

• Water treatment specialists and plumbers
• Food processing and quality control teams

Compatibility

Using It on the Job

1. After each use, gently rinse your Testo 205 pH probe with distilled water to remove any residual measurement medium.
2. Inspect the probe tip to ensure it's clean and free from any build-up or damage.
3. Securely fit the storage cap, which contains the KCL gel, onto the probe. Ensure it's firmly seated to prevent evaporation.
4. Store your Testo 205 instrument in its case or a safe location, protected from extreme temperatures or physical knocks.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• This storage cap is exclusively for the Testo 205 pH probe; it will not fit other models or brands.
• Always ensure the KCL gel level is sufficient to cover the probe tip for effective hydration.
• The KCL gel is for probe maintenance only; avoid ingestion and keep out of reach of children.
• Do not attempt to modify the cap or use it for purposes other than intended.

A dry pH probe is a dead pH probe. Always keep that sensing element hydrated with KCL solution, especially if your meter spends time in the back of the ute in the Aussie heat. It'll save you headaches and replacement costs down the track.
