I just bought the RA+ w/ WiFi during the Thanksgiving Sale a few months ago. And I just put it to use starting Jan. 2nd. So it hasn't even been a month since I actually even used it.

If you go into calibration mode with the probe in your tank, what value do you get?
I'll get this # when I get home in a few hours. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.

I think your calibration numbers are off by around 12
Try adding this to setup() after ReefAngel.Init()

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.PHMin=500;
ReefAngel.PHMax=783;

Hi Roberto,

My PH reading went crazy this morning, at 6:20am it showed a 2.48PH!! Nothing has changed. Why am I having such a difficult time with my ph reading??

Ok, never mind, found out my return pump is causing it all of a sudden, which is really strange because nothing has changed with it. Why all of a sudden my return pump would leak so much stray voltage to cause such a problem

Actually, I got a hold of a voltage meter and did some more testing. It was not my return pump like I assumed, it was the ATO switch... I haven't even had this running for 2 months and it has already went bad on me. Is that normal??
