I suspect this PH Probe is having issues

Do you think these readings are accurate?

Just a thread for fun,.. I went to check my PH probe to get an idea for daily swing as I was setting up my fuge light and saw this:

Granted I haven't calibrated for a while, but this is silly.

I recommend always backing up a pH probe. Next to heaters they can be notoriously unreliable. I posted a thread for pH probe commendations.
I used to have a Pinpoint. it was battery operated and portable
But yeah, unless you are making vinegar brine, I’m gonna say replace that probe

I don't really chase PH numbers so I didn't worry about this for a while, but I just looked into it tonight. Turns out that that I had knocked the connector loose on the Apex, once that was fixed it calibrated just fine.
