Salinity Probe

Got the v salinity probe hooked up, and planned to use it to help with a hypo treatment. But, so far. This thing is extremely inaccurate. I calibrated it with 35 ppt fluid. Has anyone had this problem, or am I missing something?

Is your 35 ppt fluid actually 35 ppt?

Yelp. It's the same fluid I use with my refractometer. I'm not dissonant.

Have you tried testing the probe in a cup of water isolated from the rest of your equipment? This will isolate any potential stray voltage issues..

I will attempt that now.

Tried it. Still shot up to about 34.9. My actual level is about 14ppt. So this thing is way off

Before I send it in, should I have kept the plastic on the tip?

No, it should be removed.
