hammondegge Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 does anyone have a spare probe that i could borrow for a day, or an hour. i have a lab monitor that i use for PH monitoring. it also has ORP capabilities thaough i have never used it. i am wonderingn if it works. i am trying to track down the source of my ph - low side - "problems". i am on the ORP trail now. oh...with a BNC style connector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammondegge Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 ok, i am a little confused. is ORP only a measure of ozone, or of all dissolved oxygen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquadoc Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 ORP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oxidation reduction potential, expressed in millivolts, is a measure of the oxidizing capacity present in water.

hammondegge Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 thats what confused me. i was reading up on it in a water sanitation article and ozone was referred to (along with bromine and chlorine) as good oxidizers. also the article inferred an inverse relationship between ph and orp. my hypothesis re: my ph will return to 7.85 every morning regardless of the level that i bring it to during the day. so i am considering CO2 saturation may be the culprit. to back down the CO2 i have to increase the oxygen concentration. does ORP give me the information that i need to know re: oxygen saturation? btw, i am dosing with a medical doser and toping off with kalk. calcium and alk are rock solid at 400 and 11dkh.
