Testing this product so far so good Read the review and leave a comment This is a real review from real people

**(There are 2 point and 3 point calibration gauges, these are 3 point.)** When the LaMotte 1741 pH Tracer PockeTester was released, we had trouble calibrating it to a dilution of 4.00/4.01. We called Lamtte and they were very helpful. They sent a new module because when we first turned it on, its light indicated when it needed to be recalibrated and blinked to update. after the new module **((front sensor PH replacement)) we had some problems with the accuracy so they sent a new PH handle. The new pen came in and the tech used the new module and pen and calibrated it. WE SOAKED THE PH PEN IN TAP WATER FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. We use Hanna Instruments 4.01 and 7.01 and 10 pH calibration buffers** (they are obsolete and lab grade). ((Note: All meters were tested with lab quality solutions no more than 4 weeks old and expiring in 2018))) and calibration kits (we also used wash 4 and then 4 and repeated with all solutions. ((both Milwaukee are great meter) **great tester*** Oakton EcoTestr pH 2 waterproof pH tester is a great tester, check out the reviews We will keep testing and come back and leave a better review to help others who like the reviews and meters we're talking about and it's all true We've had trouble finding good gauges that worked quickly and maintained a good calibration for a long time Check out our final review of this product and how it compares to the real world Preparing the PH Meter: Tech Note: Before you go into the field (important) - we found it very important to calibrate this meter at 4, 7, 10 and then recalculate (7 and 4 again) for your best value (4-7 or 7-10 etc.). *Important* Press to place the device palm down to launch test crystals. turn pen off and leave in buffer 4 or tap water for one hour. We left our half day. The next day everything works. We will update again after many weeks of use. (100% working) We have only calibrated the device with 7 which gives us the best in this field. and we only calibrate when we run about 4. While the gauge works best with the signal digit calibration, we'd also like to thank the staff and technicians at Lamotte for their help (bottom line, they've fixed any issues with the swap). and shipped promptly.) We loved the gauge and found it worked 100%, the above worked for us and we sent it back and updated it to 1766 which means more thanks
