  2. You have to use buffers. Usually 4-7-10. Some cheaper meters will use 2 or even 1. Say you have buffer 7 stick your meter in and you'll use a tiny screwdriver to adjust your setting to match the buffer. Oh crap to answer your question use reverse osmosis or distilled not tap. You'll add the powder to a known amount of water then calibrate to those two u mixed. Do it often to.
