What a difference a week makes.
Bought this meter that retails for $525 plus tax ($388 probe alone) 13 months ago. Used it for about 20 beer worts, 2 times each, and a few beer pH.
I cleaned the probe with Hanna solution and stores the probe in Hanna storage solution.
Meter worked for 13 months perfectly, holding calibration well.
All of a sudden, on 16Feb2023 it stopped working (Wrong Probe error).
Hanna technical support told me that the probe is fried and I need a new probe.
I asked whether I was unlucky to have a bad probe and Hanna stated that the expected life of the probe is 12-18 months and the warranty is 6 months.
I will be changing pH meter brand, but if you can spare $400 every 6-12 months for a pH meter, this is the meter for you.
Note: ORP was too variable in this meter to make sense even in situations with no enzymatic or metabolic activity.
