I'd like to add an internal pH probe to my Ca rx. Does anyone sell these?

I got my from Home Depot, they are in the Electrical section I think they are called cord clamps. They are available in metal and plastic.

You can get an 1/2" quick release tubing connector. Remove the oring and drill out the stop ring at the bottom. It is just a ridge that stops the tubing from going too far in the fitting. If you use 1/2" fipt threads you can screw it right into a tee or tap your reactor and screw it

There several links on here that suggest this.

At my home depot they had both metal and plastic cord clamps(?). The plastic ones had a plastic insert that didn't fit tight around the probe. The metal one had a rubber compression fitting.

So I took the rubber fitting from the metal clamp and put it in the plastic clamp. Now it fits tight around the proble.

I'm sure there was a better way to explain that - sorry if it is confusing.

The plastic ones that I got at Home depot have either round or oblong rubber fittings, I used the round ones and never had a leaking problem.

Could one of you please post a picture of what these look like? Thanks
