Have recently bought a cheap pH meter and was planning to run through the calibration procedure with the supplied reagents. I bought some standard Carplan DI from the garage, rather than wait till I'm next in work to get it free, (was a bit impatient) to mix with the powders.
Oddly, the DI water, from the bottle is reading a pH of 8.0, whilst tap water is coming in at around 7-7.5. I was expecting the DI to be <7?
Is it a case of leaving the water from the bottle to settle for a few hours? Or dodgy meter? With the DI reading so high, haven't used it for calibration yet.
