ph probe leaking current into tank

[aqua man 07]

so i noticet t had some stray current in my system and found my heaters wer leaking a cheap powerhead in my frag tank was leaking and my ph probe was leaking. i was just courious if the ph probe leaking was a result of the other stuff being messed up or if the probes will do that over time it is about 10 months old?

pH probes can serve as a return path for leaking voltage rather than leaking themselves.

Is the gel in the pH probe still clear? Usually bad ones turn cloudy.

The probes generally need to be replaced about every 12-18 months.

Are you using float switches? Unplug them and see what happens. Otherwise, could be the pH probe.
