Hey guys,
I have let my probes get some build up on them and some coraline algae. How do I clean the orp, ph, and salinity probes without damaging them?
 
I’ve soaked mine in a cup of water with some vinegar in it and that seemed to work well. When I was done, I rinsed them in a cup of RODI water.
 
I was thinking that might work but just wanted some confirmation that it wouldn't destroy the probe. Thanks for the help.
 
I did the same thing and then calibrated them
