    Ph Meter Accuracy

    Not sure if this is the right place for the post but anyhoo… I recently replaced a cheap pH pen with a mid range version with a remote sensor on a DIN plug. So the instructions were slightly awkward to read and it was missing the calibration buffers, but it was temperature compensated, auto 3...
