    I have this same problem with my PH probe. It's "accurately inaccurate" as I like to say. Never shows above a 7.9 either, but testing it otherwise shows 8.3. I've never worried about the "inaccuracy" b/c it's still correct. I just watch for anything lower than 7.9

    I came home last night and it was 8.01 after i pointed a power head at the surface so i think my probe is right over the next week or 2 ill slowly bring it up to 8.1-8.2 and then maintain with a buffer i guess.
