Calibrating a pH Monitor

[Tongue33]

IS there another way to calibrate a Pinpoint pH monitor?

Like with Milk or Bottled water like Fiji that has a pH of 7.5 ...

Or another way ?? I am stuck at my house and cannot leave til after the LFS closes.. And want to calibrate my new toy and get an accurate reading on my Fresh water tanks

Brand new to Electric monitoring devices.. But figured calibrating with #7 fluid would be a pH of 7 as that is what the directions say.. so just thought I coudl use somehtin around the house.. oh no bottled water here so I have to wait..

But what else could I use.. ??

Eh.. there was an LFS open and I got the liquid solutions I didn't think they swere going to be open but I barely made

The directions only say to calibrate with one pH 7 standard?

Generally you will calibrate according to what pH you seek to measure. If you are measuring below a pH 7 you would calibrate with pH 7 and pH 4 buffers. If you are measuring above pH 7 you would calibrate with pH 7 and pH 10 buffers.
You need to use two buffers to determine the slope portion of the calibration.

So here is the next question.. Can i use the 4-10 to get a full spectrum??? Or only up or down?? Caue that will suck if not!!!
