Hello everyone!
I connected my new P4 few days ago .
I did step by step about the installation , including calibration of each probe.
yesterday I also did firmware update for GHL control center ,to the latest version (7.28 version).
since day 1 until today the ORP is at 98 mv, PH is at 8.49 and don't change even at night.
My tank is new tank ,and I started it 7 days ago .
I'm in the hobby for the last 14 years and never had issues with equipment. any advice what should I do ?13234

you have to do a new calibration after the firmeware update.

Hi,

No, you have to backup settings and sensors data before the update and restore theses 2 files after.

du scheinst ein Gerät am Becken zu haben, dass nicht perfekt isoliert ist.
Um es zu finden kannst du nach und nach alle Geräte abklemmen und den Verursacher suchen + ggfs. tauschen.
Oder du erdest einfach dein Wasser. Das hilft häufig auch schon. Einfach einen kleinen Draht aus dem Becken an eine blanke Stelle der Heizung legen.

Thanks for the reply...I did test for stray current, here is the result.....0.0 volts at the water. I also connected ground probe , directly from the sump to the plug at the wall .
