Neptune Apex Probes?

Ernie C · Jan 18, 2019

How reliable are Apex probes out of the box after following calibration instructions? Temp I adjusted a bit after compare to other thermometers but ph is way different from my other cheap probe. I’d like to think theirs is more accurate. Do they have a break in period?

I set my first ever apex up around 2 months ago. So far the probes have been consistent with my other tests and thermometers.

I would wait 2-3 days, just to ber sure. Always do a manual test to verify your PH and salinity probes.
