ORP how to bring mine up

[Tylenator]

My orp is staying at 197 how do I bring this up and is it best to put probes in sump or tank?

I guess I'll ask. Why do you want to raise your ORP?

 

[Tylenator]

according to my readings, the apex neptune systems says it should be 200 to be stable

I've always used orp swings to tell me there is an issue. I never worry about the number just looks for variance

How long have you had it? It took mine around 6 weeks to come up and then it was steady. I wouldn't worry about too much personally. Mine has died and I won't replace. The only people who really need to worry about ORP are the ones running ozone.

ok thanks and as far as probes where best to keep in sump or tank?

 

[dakoop]

In ORP terms 197 and 200 are basically the same thing.

That's a bigger concern than the ORP. lol

If you want to know about ORP, this has all the details:

yeah turns out when I put the apex on my phone it works correctly and it uses fusion. Now everything works correctly
