LLC-AI1201 Apera Instruments,LLC PH60-E Replacement Probe for PH60 Pocket pH Tester

Hands down the best PH TDS EC ORP tester I have used, and abused, ironically I ask doing this review because, simply, I'm not easy on this tester, I drop it loose it , kick it, but not in three years have I broken a probe. Atleast the glass bulb, so I have to wonder what these ppl were doing , one person says too exposed, exposed too what the rock hard water in your solution or were they PHing rocks?! Nothing worse than misleading reviews. Breakage of the probe is user error and bc Apera cant say it, STUPIDITY. If you buy this instrument I guarantee you will not break a probe unless your using it for something which it was not designed. Thus u cant complain when it breaks. The other one was some one cleaning it, firstly n lastly, READ THE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS, where it says clearly avoid cleaning the glass probe using a contact method in other words dont touch it and if ya do, do it with a tip cotton ball, not a hammer. Ive head this 3 years bought it with the flat sensor which is great and went thru two more on my third but thoes were all user error. Leaving it stored in distilled water not orp solution etc. The replace or changeable probes is the feature that puts too bed thoughts of another brand. I have all three and they ask have their uses in a garden nursery.

Worked fine until dropping on floor, looked fine but always says 6.8ph, still went into calibration mode. Emailed mfg. and was told need to replace tip, not under warranty when dropped. Now working fine.

I got 3 years from my original PH 60 meter until it started giving me an error code when calibrating. I always leave it soaking in solution when not in use. 3 years!! This new tip calibrated easily and I hope to get anotehr 3 years!! Good price too.....compared to the Aprea site, where I would have preferred to buy it from!! Come on Apera, what are you thinking?? Like giving someone else a slice of the pie??!

I never make reviews for any products, but had to since this probe arrived broken. I handled the replacement probe with proper care and followed all directions to recalibrate, but kept getting wildly inaccurate results that would not stabilize. Readings are all over the place with every use and cannot get to probe to function properly. It sucks because I really liked this pen/probe and would love to keep using it. But it looks like it may be time to switch to a competitor like blue labs if I can’t get a refund or replacement!

Great replacement probe !

Working as intended

Didn’t screw the probe tight on a brand new unit and it got wet inside. Bought a new probe, hoping the main body electronics weren’t damaged. Installed new probe making sure it was tightened this time. It calibrated easily. What a relief. Lol

Bought this replacement probe for my Apera PH60. I thought by the description of the listing it would be like the original probe, but it was not. The new one had an additional guard that is supposed to protect the glass ball from damage, which it looks like it would do that job well. Here's the BUT, either the guard interferes with the accuracy of the probe, they changed the probe itself, or they let the probe dry out which caused it to be highly inaccurate and never actually settle on a single reading. I'm not sure which of those is the cause, but I had to send this back, which I rarely do.. So, I'm not exactly sure on what to do now as I use this meter a couple times a day and it needs to at least give me a stabile reading, the meter is great, the replacement probe is a toss up though.
