ok i know this subject has came up alot but here is what i have experienced no matter how much i calibrate it seems to start to wander off in one direction or the other, usually down but i can go and splash water upwards into it and it immediately goes back to where it should be, indivating in my book it is definately micro bubbles from skimmer or socks that start to accumalate. so this morning i zip tied the end of a panty hose to it and so far it has moved at all i will keep updates throughout the week to see if this resolves the problem

try placing it in sump sideways so that air bubbles can escape- one main reason why the values are not constant.

I'm not a fan of leaving conductivity probes in the water 24/7 as they can get coated with stuff that might impact the results.

When you say “other electrical cords”; what about the other probes? Could you post a pic of how yours is sitting in sump?

I have my three other probes in my probe holder and then my salinity probe is about a foot away in another chamber. I also ran my salinity probes cord up and over every other cords from my equipment (pumps, radions and other stuff)
