My graph is all over the place , but my numbers are steady . . is this normal. I thought the graph would be more constant.

Just remember that as the PH rises in your tank, so will the PH in your CARX. So by looking at your graph, it looks like its in line.

I thought the calcium reactor started breaking down at pH 6.5 - not sure how much effluent you get if it just drops to 6.48 and goes back up. Obviously, you don't want it to turn to mush...but are you getting good effect from it?

Regular pH probe seems low (mine sits around 8.1 to 8.2) but the fluctuation of it seems fine...mine jumps like that from day to night.

Don't go by the graph - I have a .2 degree deviation in temp...and it looks like it's jumping all over the place, but it's only .2 difference.

i was thinking the same thing , forget the graph and just concentrate on the actual numbers
