rough eye Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 So i dropped my refractometer in a bucket of freshly mixed salt water. Right after i rinsed it off with tap water. IS the reading likely to be messed up? Quote Link to comment
1st reef Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Get distilled water and check it. If it's off, adjust it back to zero using the calibrating screw. 3 Quote Link to comment
mcarroll Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 From contact with saltwater, probably not. Rinse it off with RODI and let it dry really well before you put it away. But the drop may have jarred it out of proper calibration. Easy enough to check and fix (as mentioned above) as long as nothing was physically broken in the drop. 2 Quote Link to comment
