    Conductivity/Salinity readings increasing

    I calibrated a new probe with the 53 solution last night. It was pretty close at 34.8. Then it started rising and continues to rise slowly. Any ideas what's going on?

    That's normal for a new probe. It can take anywhere from a few hours to a week for the probe to "break in" before the readings stabilize (mine took 4 days). Recalibrate it once readings stabilize.
