oh dear , that may be your problem bud .

They need to be wet at all times , i let mine sit in a glass of water after use . change water every few days .

calibrate it in silution and check again , then let sit and see what gives


next time
Get milwaukee brand . hands down the best man .

A good ph meter is top priority my friend .

i have the mileaukee mw100 , got on sale 3 yrs ago for about 120$ canadian, damn best ive ever had .

calibrate once a week with ph4 and ph7 and keep pribe dipped in water always , because it will cause wrong readings
