New Milwaukee ph tester - hand held - question

[glb]

Hi everyone. I recently purchased the above to better monitor my nano. My question is this. I know you have to keep the probe wet at all times. The probe instructions say to store it in water and the 7.0 calibrating solution instructions say to use it to store the probe. What does everyone think?

Which one do you have? Is it the ph600 or similar entry level tester? I assume it is since it's single calibration. I have the ph600. I don't store it in water, too much of a hassle. I just calibrate it when I use it, just make sure you have calibration fluid handy at all times. I also do my own double calibration by having both high fluids to use as well. But... I don't test ph often. I believe it's one of those "chasing numbers" categories.

That's the one I have. I'm storing it in the calibration fluid for now. Seems to work fine.
