8.3 pH SENSOR
8.3.1 General.
When used in clean water, the pH sensor requires little maintenance. Generally, the sensor needs maintenance
when the response becomes sluggish or noisy. In clean water the typical cleaning frequency is once a month. In
water containing large amounts of suspended solids, for example open recirculating cooling water, cleaning fre-
quency will be substantially greater.
8.3.2 Cleaning the Sensor
Remove soft deposits by rinsing with a stream of water from a wash bottle. If the sensor becomes coated with
rust, dissolve the rust by soaking the sensor in dilute citric acid (dissolve 5 grams of citric acid crystals in 100 mL
of water) for no longer than 30 minutes at room temperature. Rinse the sensor thoroughly with water and soak
in pH 4 buffer for several hours. Recalibrate the sensor in buffers before returning it to service.
8.3.3 Other Maintenance
The 3900VP-02-10 pH sensor supplied with the Model FCL-02 is disposable. It has no replaceable parts.
