Choosing Between Gold and Platinum ORP Probes: A Technical Discussion

Technical Advisor:
Hello

Client:
Hello

Client:
I'm looking for gold-tipped ORP probes.

Technical Advisor:
For which system?

Client:
Regulator with BNC connection. Any brand is fine.

Technical Advisor:
That depends, do you know the brand?

Client:
Hayward and Avady. I prefer gold tips over platinum.

Technical Advisor:
Redox Probe - This probe has a gold tip and works with Avady and Hayward.

Client:
Ok, thank you.

Technical Advisor:
You're welcome. Feel free to contact us again! Have a good evening.

Client:
Goodbye.

Client:
It is a platinum measuring surface, not gold...

Technical Advisor:
The specification is not up to date, but it does have a gold tip. You can verify it by looking at the tip.

Client:
Yes, it is visible.

Client:
Ok, thank you.

Technical Advisor:
You will see, yes, the gold is clearly visible.

Client:
What is the difference between gold and platinum? I prefer gold because it holds up better over time. But is there a real difference?

Technical Advisor:
It seems that with some systems, gold provides a more stable measurement, but my chemist doesn't know why. As for lifespan, I see no difference according to my statistics. However, this may be possible with certain regulators and aquatic environments.

Client:
Ok, thank you. Have a good evening.

Technical Advisor:
Have a good evening.
