{"product_id":"bluelab-probe-care-kit","title":"Bluelab Probe Care Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bluelab Probe Care Kit brings together the cleaner, solutions and tools that keep a Bluelab probe reading true. It comes in three versions: one for conductivity probes, one for pH probes, and a combined pH + EC kit. The probe does the real work in any meter, and it is also the part that slowly fouls in use. Salt and mineral buildup on a conductivity probe lets EC readings drift until it becomes hard to tell whether plants are being underfed or overfed. Routine cleaning and calibration keep those readings accurate and responsive, so the feed in the tank matches the feed you meant to mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach kit pairs a probe cleaner made for its sensor with the tool that applies it. The conductivity version carries Bluelab Conductivity Probe Cleaner and a chamois for the probe, plus single-use sachets of Bluelab Conductivity Standard Solution. After cleaning, the probe is tested in a known solution to confirm it is reading correctly. The pH version carries Bluelab pH Probe Cleaner and a toothbrush, because the glass bulb of a pH probe is cleaned with a soft brush rather than wiped. It also includes the two buffer sachets Bluelab pH probes need for a two-point calibration. The combined kit holds both sets and adds KCl storage solution, which keeps pH glassware wet and hydrated between uses. Single-use sachets mean every check starts with fresh solution poured into a clean cup, with nothing carried over from the last one. For the combined kit, Bluelab describe the result as restored probe accuracy, fast response times and a longer probe lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pH kit suits Bluelab pH pens, handheld meters, monitors and controllers, including the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hydrooasis.com.au\/products\/bluelab-ph-pen\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Bluelab pH Pen\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBluelab pH Pen\u003c\/a\u003e and the Bluelab Leap pH Probe. Bluelab list the conductivity kit for the Bluelab Truncheon Nutrient Meter. Where both pH and EC are checked, the combined kit covers every probe in one box. Two habits matter as much as the kit itself. A pH probe must never be stored dry, because dry storage can cause permanent damage. And the white shroud stays on a conductivity probe at all times except during cleaning, because readings are incorrect without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Bluelab Conductivity Probe Cleaner in the EC and pH + EC kits is not compatible with the Bluelab OnePen or the Bluelab OnePen Replacement Probe.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bluelab","offers":[{"title":"EC","offer_id":48083188875422,"sku":"9421024920579","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"pH","offer_id":48083188908190,"sku":"9421024920623","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"pH + EC","offer_id":48083188940958,"sku":"9421024920562","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/5261\/6094\/files\/Bluelab_Conductivity_Probe_Care_Kit.png?v=1760919052","url":"https:\/\/www.hydrooasis.com.au\/products\/bluelab-probe-care-kit","provider":"Hydro Oasis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
