    Default Refractormeter Calibration?

    What is the best way to calibrate my refractormeter without using the calibration fluid, as I don't have any?

    I would recomend ordering some calibration fluid will cost about $15 from amazon, or you can get it from one of the site sponsors. Calibrating with RO water can cause it to be off as much as .004
