I contacted American Marine they gladly said they would take the probe back and ship me a new one. I just hope they don't call me and tell me "the probe is good". I still got stuck with one bad probe (I bought it from someone else so I dont have proof of purchase). Thanks for your help! Has anyone else heard that they take hours to adjust??? I did leave it in one solution for about an hour but no change.

No, the point of a pH probe is to read it instantaneously. Though there are meters that have probes that are left in the water continuously I believe.

Hope the replacement works

My Pinpoint is in continuous use. It works and is accurate. I check the calibration semi-annually and it does not vary. When it goes whacky I know it's time for a new probe. Now I have the 18 month mark calendered so I'll have the replacement probe on hand when the time comes.
