Product Related FAQ’s
How often do I need to clean my chemical controller probes?
Probably not as often as you may believe. Unless you have hard water or experiencing odd readings the probes can be left alone for up to 6 months.
How should I store my BECSys probes when not in use (during shut down for example)?
It is very important not to let your probe tips dry out. The sensor will not perform well if they dry. The most ideal way to store your BECSys probes is to use storage caps called wetting caps with BECSys probe reference storage solution; 4/KCI. Using the same reference solution that is inside the probe sensor limits the reaction that happens while in storage. Keeps your probe from working while in storage and prolongs its life. If the wetting caps are not used, then the next best option would be leaving the sensor in a glass of the 4/KCI solution rather than the pool or tap water. But leaving your sensor in a glass of water is much safer than letting it dry out.
