Trident test results are not adding up. Time to clean?

[dead_goby]

My Trident is showing me confusing results.

I have already changed reagents and calibrated. I cleaned the curvet about a year ago.

I really would prefer not to disassemble it again if it can be avoided.

I am thinking about running vinegar or critic acid through it a few times. Can anyone say if this is a terrible idea?

I would advise against using any type of cleaning agent. It may be time to pick up a Trident service kit. The tubing does wear out and needs regular replacement.

Agreed

I recently had to swap mine out for a refurbished unit bc my alk readings were way off. Neptunes claims the tubing and dosing unit need to be replaced every 2 years
