    Salinity probe acting up!

    My salinity probe started acting up. When it first happened I recalibrated. Since then its spiked and dipped numerous times, each time I seem to fix the problem by dislodging bubbles. But its happening often and now its spiked and I can't seem to get it back to normal.

    What does a probe do when it fails? Can you reset a probe? This probe is 11 months old. Is there a warranty on these things?

    You can "reset" a probe by unplugging it, quickly scrolling through a manual calibration, and then run a proper calibration on it.

    Check that the connector is properly seated as the cond probe doesn't lock in as good as a pH probe and can cause this behavior if it gets a little loose.
