Why would orp start bouncing around all of the sudden? What would cause this? Idea?

Looks rhythmic like dosing water change, or something else?
I looked at the timing and got this for each drop.
1hr 40mins
1hr 40mins
1hr 50mins
1hr 40mins
2hrs 30mins
1hr 50mins
1hr 50mins
1hr 40mins

Weird.

ORP probes are very sensitive to electrical disturbances.

Some type of electrical Interference would be my best guess - something cycling with that frequency.
Dosing Pump?
Interesting. I did have a Jebao pump below it that I moved closer to it. I’ll move it and see what happens. Thanks

I agree that electrical interference sounds likely. Does anything anywhere in your home cycle like that?
Other than tank equipment the closest thing is a tv and equipment for that. It did seem to start after an Apex update and moving the pump closer.

Does the pump ever change pumping?

You might unplug the spec and see what happens.

In the end, it’s more curiosity than any real issue.
