I'm using a Red Sea Aquazone 100mg, running it at it's lowest setting 24/7, hence I've never bothered measuring ORP. The intent was just to get water clarity, which it has done well.
I'm thinking about increasing the amount gradually to achieve the other desired effects of ozone.
I don't know what my baseline ORP is yet, but I think I would be shoot for around 380. It's my understanding that ORP does not fluctuate quickly. If that's true, I'm thinking to do this:
Buy a handheld (Milwaukee or Hanna), get a baseline, very very gradually increase the ozone (weekly) and monitor the results intermittently. Once (if) I get it to 380, I'll hold it there and manually test it once a week.
This would avoid the use of replaceable probes and the hand held should last for quite a while?
Thoughts?
Thanks
