Aqua Medic pH/mV Probe Cleaning Solution 60ml
Purpose-built to clear the deposits that make a pH probe drift. This 60 ml Aqua Medic pH/mV Probe Cleaning Solution is formulated specifically to clean the sensing tip of pH and mV electrodes – the calcium and mineral deposits that build up on a probe over weeks of use are one of the most common causes of a reading that slowly drifts away from what calibration fluid confirms is correct.
Key features
- Purpose-formulated for electrodes – designed specifically for the sensing tip of pH and mV probes, rather than a general-purpose cleaner.
- 60 ml bottle – enough for many cleaning cycles on a home aquarium's probes.
- Works alongside calibration – cleans deposits that calibration fluid alone won't remove, so a freshly calibrated probe stays accurate for longer.

Directions
Dip or rinse the tip of the probe in the cleaning solution to lift mineral and calcium deposits, then rinse in fresh water before returning the probe to the tank or to storage/calibration solution. Aqua Medic doesn't publish a fixed cleaning interval – as a guide, clean whenever a probe stops matching a fresh calibration, or as part of your regular calibration routine.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
- Suitable for cleaning Aqua Medic pH and mV probes on freshwater and marine systems.
- Not suitable as a replacement for calibration fluid – cleaning removes deposits, it doesn't calibrate the reading. Use Aqua Medic pH 7 and pH 9 test fluid for that step.
Care and maintenance
Keep the bottle capped between uses and store at room temperature, out of direct sun. Always rinse a probe in fresh water after cleaning and before returning it to the tank, so no residue is carried into the water.
Goes well with
- Aqua Medic pH Probe L127mm Plastic Standard and L70mm PG13.5mm Threaded – the probes this solution is made to clean.
- Aqua Medic pH 7 and pH 9 test fluid – for calibration after cleaning.

Common questions
How is this different from calibration fluid?
Cleaning solution removes deposits from the probe tip; calibration fluid (pH 7 and pH 9 test fluid) sets the probe's reading against a known value. They do different jobs and most routines use both – clean first, then calibrate.
How often should I clean my probe?
Aqua Medic doesn't publish a fixed schedule. A practical guide is to clean whenever a probe's reading has drifted from a fresh calibration, or to build it into your regular calibration routine.
Will this work on probes from other brands?
It's formulated for pH and mV electrodes generally, but Aqua Medic's own documentation is specific to their probe range – check compatibility with your probe's manufacturer if it isn't an Aqua Medic unit.
Do I need to rinse the probe after cleaning?
Yes – rinse in fresh water before returning the probe to the tank or to storage solution, so no cleaning residue is carried into the water.
