What LibertyCES's vendor documentation shows

ProMinent names pool water and aquariums as the typical application for five distinct sensor types; the plastic-shaft PHEK/RHEK variants exist specifically for aquatic installs. Real detail: RHES Au uses gold electrodes because gold resists the hydrogen susceptibility that degrades platinum in pool water.

Install / Failure Note

ProMinent's RHES Au uses gold sensor pins specifically because gold resists the hydrogen susceptibility that degrades platinum electrodes in pool water — a named material failure mode, not just generic corrosion, that platinum-electrode ORP sensors are exposed to in chlorinated pool chemistry.

Platinum is the default ORP electrode material almost everywhere except pool water, where ProMinent names hydrogen susceptibility as a real degradation mechanism and builds the RHES Au specifically with gold electrodes to resist it — the kind of chemistry-specific material substitution that separates a supplier who sells "an ORP sensor" from one who specs the electrode metal to the actual water it's sitting in.
