Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2013 7:47 pm The meter will always read something. A better method is to unplug each component one at a time. Check pH every unplug. One device will be unplugged and then pH will increase. Thus you narrow down one by one the issue.

My problem is stray voltage from my chiller, but not thru the tank, it is some other way. It is tied the the computer and USB cable to the RA. Start by unplugging your USB cable and see if your RA starts reading the correct PH. ----------------------------------
