I've struggled with my Salinity probe for about 3 years now. Ever since it was new. I've tried grounding the tank, putting the probe in different places, isolating the wire, even putting one of those magnetic shielding things around the wire. Nothing helps. The tank is GFCI protected.
I have an apex classic with the salinity module and probe. It has 2 EB8's, flow module, head unit, lunar simulator, and two of the breakout boxes.
With the lights off, and my return on it reads 33 ppt. A little off, but that's fine.
If the lights come on, the reading will drop to 27 ppt.
If I turn the return off, the reading will tank to 16 ppt.
What can I do? I thought this might be because of stray power but with the tank grounded and GFCI protected if there are any stray power the GFCI should trip.
How should I troubleshoot? Have any of you had an issue like this? How did you fix it?
