I will try this : ) thank youThe salinity probe takes a week or 2 to settle to where you can calibrate it. So I just turned the alarms off for those 2 weeks then calibrated it. Also did you enable the temp correct factor in the advanced settings (it should be set to 2.2, don't forget to click the orange update button. I've done that a time or 5)? Another point, make sure you float the sealed calibration in the tank to warm them to your tank, especially the conductivity solution because that reading is temperature dependent. If possible place the probe where it wont get blasted with micro bubbles from the skimmer or drain lines. Personally I don't use the number it gives, I use it more to monitor stability. If it reads 33.5 for a few days and I see a large drop I know a lot of fresh water was added and something is wrong. Or watch for it to rise and then I know my ato container is empty.
The ORP probe is similar where it needs 2-3 weeks to "season to begin giving better readings but there is no calibration solution needed for that.
