Description
Meytec buffer solution – pH 6.86 – bottle 60 ml
The Meytec buffer solution pH 6.86 bottle 60 ml is a neutral calibration liquid for pH meters and controllers used on swimming pools, spas and other water treatment systems. It provides a stable pH 6.86 reference value so you can calibrate electronic pH probes and keep everyday measurements accurate and repeatable.
Application and purpose
Electronic pH meters drift over time as the probe ages and is exposed to chlorinated water, chemicals and temperature variations. Calibrating with a Meytec buffer solution pH 6.86 allows you to correct this drift close to the operating range of most pool waters, where the target pH is usually near neutral.
The pH 6.86 value is widely used as a central reference point and can be combined with additional acidic or alkaline buffers, such as pH 4.01 or pH 9–10, to refine the meter response across the full working range when a multi point calibration is required.
Compact 60 ml bottle format
The Meytec buffer solution pH 6.86 bottle 60 ml comes in a small screw cap bottle that is practical for occasional calibration and mobile service work. The compact volume is ideal for users who maintain one or a few instruments and prefer to keep the buffer fresh.
- 60 ml of ready to use pH 6.86 buffer solution.
- Compact design bottle that fits easily in test kits and service cases.
- Suitable for handheld meters, pocket testers and small controllers.
To maintain the specified value, only the required amount should be poured into a clean container for each calibration and the main bottle must be closed immediately after use.
Calibration with Meytec pH 6.86 buffer
The Meytec buffer solution pH 6.86 bottle 60 ml is compatible with most pH meters that accept external buffer solutions. It is intended for calibration and verification of pH probes in residential and small commercial pools, spas and other installations where reliable pH control is essential.
- Neutral reference point close to the recommended pool pH range.
- Supports precise adjustment of pH probes in treated water.
- Can be used alone or as part of a multi point calibration routine.
Calibration should always follow the procedure described in the instrument manual, including buffer order, stabilisation time and any temperature compensation steps.
Example calibration procedure
A simple calibration using Meytec pH 6.86 buffer can be carried out as a single point adjustment near the operating value or as the central step in a multi point procedure with additional buffers.
- Rinse the pH probe with clean water and gently dry with a soft cloth.
- Pour a small amount of pH 6.86 buffer into a clean container.
- Immerse the probe and wait until the reading is stable.
- Adjust the meter reading to 6.86 according to the calibration menu.
When more precision is required, the pH 6.86 buffer is combined with lower and higher reference values so the instrument can correct both offset and slope across a wider pH range.
Storage and handling recommendations
To keep the Meytec buffer solution pH 6.86 bottle 60 ml within specification, it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Good handling practices help avoid contamination and extend the useful life of the buffer.
- Always close the bottle tightly immediately after dispensing.
- Use only clean containers for the working volume and discard leftovers.
- Never pour used buffer back into the original bottle.
With correct storage and regular calibration, this compact pH 6.86 buffer solution helps maintain accurate pH readings, supports stable dosing control and contributes to comfortable, well balanced pool and spa water.
