    Question Large/Sudden Salinity Swings

    Good morning, all!

    I recent have been having huge swings in my salinity, and I am not sure why. I have my Apex connected to my Neptune Auto Top Off. I have not moved the sensor or changes anything...

    Does anyone have any ideas? See attached graph.

    Make sure the salinity probes cable isn't running parallel to another wire such as the 24V acc of the FMM. Noise induced from nearby wires is usually the culprit for large quick spikes.

    Another likely culprit is bubble buildup. Make sure the probe isn't right next to a source of bubbles.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    Thank you, zombie. I had it right next to the skimmer... I have moved it and that appears to have worked for now.
