Storing Probes

[egadgetjnr]

Hi Guys,
I have recently shut down my tank while I redesign it and I have a Salinity, ORP and PH Probe that I need to store while I do my works for a few months. I'm going to make it better then ever!
What is the best and safest way to store them so that they don't become inaccurate? Is there a certain solution I should try and seal them in? Unfortunately I don't have the old ends for it as the wife threw them out. I'm open to any suggestions!


Thanks in advance.

The salinity I would store in DI water.

The pH probes that I've gotten from china recently have arrived in a pH 10 solution but the Hanna guide says use pH 4 or pH 7.

Check the Hanna guide for ORP because I don't have any experience with them.

Here's the Hanna guide http://www.hannainst.com/usa/electrode_care.cfm

I think the primary thing is that the probes stay wet. I've always just stored mine in DI water and had no detrimental results.

The safest is to store them in solutions dedicated for probe storage.

The salinity probe can be stored dry.
