Description
Milwaukee MW605 MAX Waterproof Galvanic Dissolved Oxygen Meter
The Milwaukee MW605 MAX Waterproof Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Meter is a professional-grade portable instrument designed for fast, accurate measurement of dissolved oxygen (DO), oxygen saturation (%), and temperature. Featuring a galvanic dissolved oxygen probe, automatic calibration, automatic temperature compensation, and an IP67 waterproof housing, the MW605 delivers laboratory-quality performance for field and laboratory applications.
Unlike polarographic dissolved oxygen probes, the included MA860 galvanic probe requires no conditioning time, allowing immediate measurements whenever testing is required. Combined with altitude and salinity compensation, built-in GLP functions, USB connectivity, and data logging for up to 1,000 measurements, the MW605 is an excellent choice for professionals requiring dependable dissolved oxygen analysis.
The Milwaukee MW605 is widely used by water treatment facilities, wastewater plants, environmental consultants, aquaculture operations, fish farms, laboratories, educational institutions, field biologists, and industrial water quality professionals.
Measure Dissolved Oxygen, Oxygen Saturation & Temperature
The Milwaukee MW605 combines three critical water quality measurements into one rugged portable instrument.
Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
Measure dissolved oxygen concentrations from 0.0 to 45.00 mg/L (ppm) with excellent repeatability and ±1.5% reading accuracy.
Oxygen Saturation
Measure oxygen saturation from 0.0 to 300.0%, making the meter suitable for a wide variety of environmental and industrial monitoring applications.
Temperature
Integrated temperature measurement from -20.0 to 120.0°C (-4.0 to 248.0°F) with automatic temperature compensation for improved measurement accuracy.

Probe Care & Maintenance
Proper maintenance helps ensure long probe life and accurate dissolved oxygen measurements.
Routine Probe Maintenance
Keep the silver cathode clean and untarnished. If discoloration occurs, gently polish using a lint-free cloth before recalibrating.
Membrane Maintenance
The PTFE membrane should remain clean and free from scratches or punctures. Replace the membrane immediately if damaged.
Milwaukee recommends:
- Replace the membrane approximately every 8 weeks, or more frequently in heavily fouled environments.
- Replace the electrolyte solution approximately every 4 weeks.
Storage
For short-term storage, keep the protective cap installed or store the probe in deionized water.
For long-term storage:
- Remove the electrolyte.
- Rinse with distilled water.
- Dry the electrode.
- Reinstall the membrane cap loosely.
- Store dry with the protective cap installed.
