    Salinity Probe issues

    I am having a problem with my salinity probe. It was working fine before but then I had to replace the controller because it had an update issue. The probe will not calibrate it gets to step and says to dry the probe off and will not “acceptable range” the “reading has settled” is checked but the other will not. I have waited 24-48 hours with it being dry and still nothing. Please help

    Stick it in your sump to soak until the reading stabilizes (This can take up to a week. Mine was 90% there after 12 hours and all the way after 4 days). Then do a manual calibration. You just need to rinse off with RO and pad dry with a paper towel for the dry step and make absolute certain that the packet exactly matches tank temp while it's settling (I float for 30 minutes, then use a magnet or clip to keep it touching tank water while it's settling).

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