My pH meter doesn't appear to have any physical damage. The bulb is not cracked or damaged in any visible way. After I calibrate it, it measures the pHs of my 7 and 10 standards correctly and it measures the pH of my tap water approximately correctly. But when I drop it in my tank, it says the pH is 1.6
...Considering that I did not just dump a bottle of HCL into my tank, and its inhabitants are all pretty much OK, I know something is wrong. I have been having this issue for a few months now... The probe is not near any wires or pumps.
I had problems getting my RA to properly perform the StandardATO function. It kept performing the SingleATO function instead. I finally got it to work last week (I have no idea how...it just decided to work for no apparent reason that I can understand). But it only works properly intermittently. When the low ATO switch is triggered, the pump comes on. I have the timeout set for 240 seconds. But sometimes, the pump just shuts off, before the high ATO switch is visibly triggered and way before the timeout expires. I have the float switches mounted correctly, the high switch pointing up and the low switch pointing down.
Here's my code:
