Same problem with the O2 tester. The deposition of salt was very noticeable. I drained the solution and the material was moving about at the bottom of the cap. Wiped the probe gently and some came off. Rinsed and refilled the solution and refitted. Tester then calibrated easily. Would love to know what the chemical reaction caused the deposition. Seems to be on the probe, some reaction between the solution and the metal in the probe. What does Abbey say?
