Saltwater Conductivity Problems

It's not sitting anywhere you ato is filling is it?

The probe is in the refuge.

I have the same problem. Every time I calibrate my probe, after 24 hours it is reading a much lower value. I wonder if there is a problem with the latest software version?

My problem was a pump eheim.

Often the reason is a (defective) electronic device that creates an electromagnetic interfering field which disturbs the measurement of the probe. In another case, a customer had put a moor radix into the tank which caused
wrong conductivity values...

Hi Carolin, we found the problem. There was a pump inside the sump which altered the Conductivity probe readings.
After removing that pump, the probe readings are stable.

But I have one question: Why vinegar renews the probe?

Cleaning the probe can improve the accuracy of the measurement. For an optimal probe cleaning please have a look here:

I have a similar problem, the conductivity is dropping down. If I shake the sensor in the aquarium water the reading goes back to normal but dropping quickly (from 1.025 to 1.010)

Perhaps it happens to you the same as my friend. Try to unplug devices (specially pumps)
