Question 1

What are directions for testing calibration of milwakee ph 600 aq meter

Accepted Answer

Purchase a solution of known pH and use that to calibrate. Choose a pH test solution that has a pH close to the one you will be using your meter for.

Question 2

On arrival the probe had crystalized salt or battery acid all over.  It seems to work...should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

NO! As the instruction sheet specifically states, "Do not be alarmed if white crystals appear around the cap. This is normal with pH electrodes and they dissolve when rinsed with water."

Read those instructions carefully. This is a pretty simple pH meter (manual one-point calibration, NON-replaceable probe, et cetera) - but you'll still need to rinse the probe off after each use, and to store it (preferably upright) with "a few drops" of storage solution in the cap (NOT distilled water!), with the cap securely installed, when not in use. Use, rinse, shake (once or twice - it's not a can of paint, lol), and place cap back on after ensuring that there's some storage solution in there. Once initially hydrated, you really don't want the glass probe to dry out inside (there are very tiny holes in it, which is how it works). That's the purpose of putting some storage solution in the cap, by the way. Plain (tap) water won't work, and distilled water will actually leach the substance out of the probe that's needed for proper function (so, again, don't use distilled water). At the end of the day, this is a disposable device, because it doesn't have a replaceable probe. How long it lasts before it's time to dispose of the thing and buy something else depends on whether it is used *and stored* properly.

Question 3

How do I know the manufacturing date of my ph probe since they only last a few months

Most people start selling on Amazon since it is supposed to be a relatively easy way to flip items for cash. But once you start coming across all sorts of acronyms you have never heard of or don’t fully understand, the game starts to seem more challenging. As an Amazon seller, you have most likely come across these three terms:

SKU – Stands for Stock Keeping Unit and is a generic industry term used in warehouses in order to identify a unique product. All Amazon products need an SKU which either you or Amazon can choose. SKUs are meant to help sellers keep track of their merchandise
    ASIN – Stands for Amazon Stock Identifier Number which is is a unique code every product you send into Amazon’s warehouse will need. You can customize this but in the event that you do not choose your ASIN, Amazon will assign you an arbitrary code. This is essentially ‘Amazon’s SKU’ and is meant to help Amazon keep track of merchandise.   
    EAN – Stands for a European Article Number and normally consists of 12-13 digits. This is basically a barcode which identifies each individual product, its manufacturer and other item characteristics. This code is typically already printed on the label or packaging by the manufacturer.
