Hi guys!
I bought the Hanna Instruments Phep 5 pH meter (MT604) from B3:

Along with the pH storage solution (MT618):

What isn't clear (and B3 rep wasn't sure when I called) was how exactly to "store" the meter using this storage solution.
The manufacturer instructions that came with the meter say:
"clean the electrode with water store it with a few drops of HI 70300 storage solution in the protective cap. DO NOT USE DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER FOR STORAGE PURPOSES".
The generic 'use and care of a pH meter' instructions at B3 say:
"Your pH electrode should be stored in a solution that is designed to maintain the integrity of the electrode and prevent the electrolyte solution from leeching out. We sell an electrode storage solution under part number MT618".
Inside the bottom cap of the meter is a little built-in cup that holds the probe tip. There's a little sponge on the bottom. Do you simply put a couple of drops of the MT618 storage solution into the sponge per the manufacturer instructions? Or do you completely fill that little cup in the end cap with storage solution to keep the electrode probe tip immersed?
Or something else? I'm assuming you don't remove the probe and stick it in the storage solution after cleaning it after each use?
Thanks!
