hmmm, my guess woul be 8.65, if it was calibrated correctly and the batteries don't need replacing. Most all units are ATC.

I'll 3rd this. I have one and it does fine as long as the battery doesn't get low. Once the battery gets low I start getting some funky readings.

that's the one i have. i bought a whole new unit because my old one was giving me some funky readings 4 months after purchasing probe #2. what sparked the question was that the calibration fluid that came with the unit has a correction table on the back. not to mention that my ph is at 8.75 right now, and i'm not doing anything differently. i've always had to fight to keep it up with powerheads etc. i'm going to pull it out and make sure it's still calibrated correctly and test my ca and alk.
