Are u running ozone?

 

[bamachamp92]

no ozone not even carbon now

You should calibrate your ORP probe, or cross check it with one you now is working. It's unlikely that your getting an orp of over 400 and your not injecting ozone. Just my opinion.

 

[bamachamp92]

you may be right, the monitor is only about three weeks old

How old is the probe? It took mine over a week, maybe two to finally break in and give me an accurate reading.

 

[bamachamp92]

the probe is new with the monitor three weeks to a month

Just give it some time and you will be fine.
