Just gave Jeff a new Eutech pH meter to use. pH with meter 8.45. pH with strip 6.5. This was first site tested, and pH meter had damp sponge in cap to keep probe moist, but maybe it wasn't moist enough. By the timenext sample done, meter reading comparable to strips. Ph meter now stored in solution to keep porobe moist and ready for sampling.
