Can these refractometers go bad? I have had mine for like 5-6 years. I tested my water and it says it's fine ( sg ~1.024 salinity ~ 30). I took my water to have it tested cause all my test kits have expired and when they tested the salinity it came back with a sp~ 1.040 on their refrac. I came home and put some freshwater to make sure mine was calibrated and it showed it was. So for the hell of it I took my refrac to the store and it showed on their water that it was way uncalibrated. So they calibrated it to their water and I came home and tested my water again and got the exact same thing ( sg ~1.024 salinity~ 30) went to another store and their refrac showed sp~ 1.027. Has my refrac bit the dust?
