PH reading very high ????

[russ13]

I just picked up a pm1 and ph probe for my apex Jr. I calibrated it with the 7.0 and 10.0 stuff you get from marine depot. Everything seemed ok but it's reading 11.2 in my tank??? I know my PH can't be that high. It is in the sump next to my skimmer not sure if that means anything. Just wondering why it is reading so high?????

there shouldnt be any bubbles in the probe did you rinse out the probe before you put it in the tank?

what I'm asking is if after you calibrated the Ph probe, stick it back in the calibration solution and make sure it's reading what the calibration solution is supposed to be.

Are you dosing anything in the probe section?

did you verify your pH with a test kit?

Pee in a cup, Place probe inside of cup and check reading. Urine has a PH Level of 6.0

Or he can just put it in the calibration fluid that is set... hahaha

Woke up today and the probe had a reading of 9.5 on fusion and I can't get it to show up at all on my tank display?? I unplugged it and it still said 9.5 in fusion?? Then I unplugged the pm1 and the ph number disappeared. Plugged it back in and it displayed 9.5 I tried moving the probe to another area of the sump but no change.

update firmware on the PM1

 

[russ13]
