ORP high

[feelix]

I'm concern with a high ORP.

Currently my Ph is around 8.1 and ORP 460. Mesure are taken with Neptune probe.

No UV at all so why my ORP is that high ? Is there something I can do to lower it ?

Thanks

ORP is NEVER too high when not using ozone or otherwise adding oxidizers.

So whether it is real or a measurement error, it is no concern.

The probes may just need cleaning and/or calibrating.

Randy, can you point us to an article on the subject of opr, ozone and oxidisers?
