ORP

[Cramtellaj]

Hi,

I just bought a second hand Red Sea Fish pHarm ltd. Aquazone Plus 200 O3 generator and controller.
I got it packed new as it was never used before.
Red Sea do not sell this device anymore.
It comes with a ORP probe in the package.
But, as I suspected that this probe is, at least, 5 years old, I ordered a new one that should be delivered by tomorrow or so.

I also ordered a calibration solution.

Do I really have to calibrate this new REDOX probe?
If yes, can you tell me how to proceed? The user manual of the Aquazone kit does not give a single clue about this.

Thanks

M.

You should not have to Calibrate a new ORP probe. Even though there is an option to do so on an Apex unit I would guess 99% of reefers don't as its not really needed or suggested.

This is the information I found about calibrating your unit

The AquaZone PLUS unit is calibrated and tested with the Reagecon Platinum-Ag/AgCI electrode which is recommended for use with the AquaZone PLUS;should another type/brand of electrode be used with the AquaZone Plus, ensure that you:Take a reading with your electrode in “Redoxsol” Red Sea Fish Pharm’s Electrodetest solution. If you receive a reading different to that printed on the testsolution bottle, follow the supplied instructions carefully on how to use this electrode with the AquaZone Plus unit.
