Description
AstralPool calibration solution 470 mV 50 mL ORP 60633
AstralPool calibration solution 470 mV 50 mL ORP 60633 is a professional redox reference liquid designed to calibrate ORP probes used in automatic
pool controllers and salt chlorinators. It provides a stable 470 mV reference so your controller can interpret disinfection levels correctly and
dose chlorine with precision.
- Stable 470 mV ORP reference for accurate redox calibration.
- 50 mL bottle sized for multiple routine calibrations.
- Compatible with a wide range of AstralPool and Idegis controllers.
What this 470 mV ORP calibration solution is used for
This calibration liquid is formulated to provide a fixed oxidation reduction potential of 470 mV under standard conditions. When you immerse a clean,
conditioned ORP probe in the solution and run the calibration procedure on the controller, the device adjusts its reading so that the displayed value
matches the known 470 mV reference. This ensures that subsequent measurements in the pool water accurately reflect the true disinfection potential.
Regular calibration using a dedicated 470 mV solution is essential for automatic dosing systems that regulate chlorine based on redox, as it compensates
for gradual sensor ageing and keeps the control logic correctly aligned.
Compatibility and typical controllers
AstralPool calibration solution 470 mV 50 mL ORP 60633 is designed for automatic regulation and control equipment that uses ORP probes to manage chlorine
output. It is commonly used with AstralPool and Idegis systems that specify a 470 mV calibration standard for their redox sensors.
- Suitable for AstralPool Elite Connect and Elite Connect LS systems using ORP control.
- Used with AstralPool Neolysis and Hydrosalt LC2 units that rely on redox regulation.
- Valid for AstralPool and CTX salt chlorinators and control panels that list reference 60633 as ORP calibration solution.
- Compatible with any ORP controller that requires a 470 mV buffer and accepts standard redox probes.
Before use, always check the instruction manual of your controller or dosing pump to confirm that a 470 mV calibration solution is specified for redox
calibration and that the reference 60633 is listed among the recommended accessories.
How to use the 470 mV calibration solution correctly
For reliable calibration, both the procedure and the handling of the solution are important. The liquid should remain uncontaminated and at a stable
temperature close to that of the environment where the controller operates.
- Store the bottle upright with the cap tightly closed, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Before calibration, ensure the ORP probe is clean, rinsed with fresh water and free from scale or deposits.
- Pour a small amount of solution into a clean calibration cup; never insert the probe into the original bottle.
- Immerse the measuring tip of the probe fully and wait until the reading stabilises.
- Follow the controller’s menu to set or confirm the 470 mV reference value.
After calibration, discard the used solution from the cup and rinse the probe with fresh water before returning it to its probe holder or sampling line.
Never pour used calibration liquid back into the original container, as this can alter its reference value.
Benefits of regular ORP calibration
Using AstralPool calibration solution 470 mV 50 mL ORP 60633 as part of your maintenance routine helps keep automatic disinfection under control and
protects both bathers and equipment.
- Keeps redox readings aligned with real disinfection levels measured in the pool.
- Prevents under chlorination that could lead to cloudy water or algae growth.
- Reduces the risk of over dosing chlorine, which can cause odour, eye irritation and faster equipment wear.
- Improves the efficiency of the chlorinator or dosing pump by avoiding unnecessary corrections.
A correctly calibrated ORP probe allows the controller to react precisely to changes in bather load, temperature and sunlight, maintaining a consistent
disinfection level with minimal manual intervention.
Handling, storage and shelf life
Although the calibration solution is easy to use, proper handling ensures that the 470 mV value remains stable for as long as possible.
- Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to limit exposure to air and contaminants.
- Store at a moderate, stable temperature as indicated by the manufacturer on the label.
- Avoid touching the liquid with fingers or tools that have been in contact with pool chemicals.
- Mark the opening date on the bottle and replace it according to the recommended shelf life, or sooner if you notice abnormal calibration behaviour.
By combining fresh calibration solution, a well maintained ORP probe and regular calibration intervals, automatic redox based controllers can deliver
stable, predictable performance season after season.
