Description
Meytec KCL electrode storage solution bottle 60 ml
The Meytec KCL electrode storage solution bottle 60 ml is a dedicated maintenance liquid for pH and orp electrodes. It contains potassium chloride (KCL) at the correct concentration to keep glass membranes and reference junctions hydrated, helping probes maintain accuracy and a fast response between measurements.
Why pH and orp probes need KCL storage
pH and orp electrodes should never be stored dry or in plain water. When the glass membrane or reference junction dries out, readings drift, response time becomes slow and the probe can suffer irreversible damage. The Meytec KCL electrode storage solution provides a stable environment around the sensing area so the internal electrolyte and the external solution remain in balance.
Using a dedicated KCL solution instead of tap or demineralised water reduces osmotic stress on the reference system. This helps preserve the electrode structure and extends the usable lifetime of probes used for pool and spa water control.
Compact 60 ml bottle for test kits and field work
The Meytec KCL electrode storage solution bottle 60 ml comes in a compact screw cap bottle that fits easily into portable test kits and service cases. This format is ideal for users who maintain a limited number of probes and prefer small volumes that stay fresh until they are used.
- 60 ml of ready to use KCL storage solution.
- Space saving bottle for residential and small commercial pools.
- Practical size for mobile technicians and on site testing.
The small bottle makes it easy to refill protective electrode caps or small storage vials without carrying large volumes of liquid to the technical room or poolside.
Typical applications
The Meytec KCL electrode storage solution bottle 60 ml is suitable for most standard laboratory and field electrodes used in pool and spa analysis. It can be used with:
- Glass pH electrodes for handheld meters and controllers.
- Orp and redox probes used for automatic disinfection control.
- Combination pH or orp electrodes in portable multi parameter testers.
The solution is intended for storage between measurement sessions, overnight and during longer shutdown periods, and can also be used to rehydrate new or long idle electrodes when recommended by the manufacturer.
How to store electrodes with Meytec KCL solution
Correct use of Meytec KCL electrode storage solution helps preserve the performance of pH and orp probes and can be integrated in a simple daily routine. The objective is to keep the membrane and junction continuously immersed without submerging the entire sensor body.
- Fill the protective electrode cap or a small storage vial with fresh KCL solution.
- Insert the electrode tip so that the glass bulb and junction are fully covered.
- Ensure the cap or vial is properly closed to limit evaporation and contamination.
- Check the level regularly and top up or replace the solution as needed.
Before each measurement or calibration, remove the electrode from the KCL solution, rinse briefly with clean water and gently blot dry with a soft tissue to remove excess liquid.
Maintenance and regeneration of probes
Regular use of Meytec KCL electrode storage solution supports quick recovery of pH and orp probes after calibration or measurement. For electrodes that have been stored dry by mistake, soaking the tip in fresh KCL solution for several hours can often restore part of the response.
- Use after cleaning cycles to rehydrate the glass membrane.
- Soak sluggish probes to help improve response speed and stability.
- Combine with Meytec buffer solutions for precise calibration results.
Stable readings when immersed in KCL solution, together with predictable calibration behaviour, are good indicators that the electrode is still in acceptable condition for reliable pool water control.
Storage and handling of the KCL solution
To keep the Meytec KCL electrode storage solution bottle 60 ml in optimal condition, it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Good handling practices reduce contamination from salts, dust and sample residues.
- Always close the bottle tightly immediately after dispensing.
- Pour only small working volumes into caps or vials and refresh them regularly.
- Do not pour used storage solution back into the original bottle.
With correct storage and regular use, this compact KCL storage solution provides many refills for electrode caps and storage containers and helps keep pH and orp probes stable, responsive and ready for accurate pool water measurements.
