Loophole?

If I have a calcium reactor with a ph probe. I can monitor my cal,alk,mag with the (Trident). Dose the reactor fluid to keep stable cal and alk.

Do I need a ph probe in the actual tank water?

Ummm yes if you want to know tank ph no if you do not.........

I’m asking besides knowing. If I never watched it could it ever be a problem if I knew the other parameters.

Don’t rely on the ph probe in the reactor to tell you anything other than when to stop/start dosing alk.

Yes but what could cause such a drastic swing in PH without effecting the other parameters I can monitor?

The CO2 in your house

The CO2 in your house

Nope

Nope

You asked a question what could cause a huge ph swing in your tank that would not effect other peramiters that you are monitoring. And the answer is high level of co2 in your house. High co2 will not be picked up by any other of your sensors. Within only couple hours if you had people over your co2 could rise causing ph to go crazy low and will not immediately Affect any other parameters. Obviously overtime you will see your alkalinity consumption be less with lower pH
