Makes sure you clean it with water after using it. Especially with def.
Exactly. DEF will leave crystalline deposits so flushing with water is a must after measuring a sample.
Get DISTILLED water from a store. You can usually get it for 99 cents/gallon. Do not use Deionized (DI) water because it is highly polarized from the ion exchange process and can attack some metals. Distilled water has been boiled to remove salts and metal ions and the steam condensed over chilled coils. It is a much better water to use for flushing devices like this refractometer, topping off batteries, or diluting full strength engine coolant.
