Salinity and conductivity

[authentic]

What is the relationship? My conductivity is reading 2.5

There is a direct correlation between salinity and conductivity. The more salt content in the water, the more conductive the water is.

Yep conductivity is just another way to test how much salt is in the water. I though that the salinity probe on the apex (at least if the probe is plugged directly into the brain) only displayed in ppt. The measurement for conductivity is microsiemens and 2.5 is essentially nothing. Mind sharing a picture of your reading?

Pic, my Q is if my salinity is 1.026 what should my conductivity be and where to set the alarms

Do I need the new conductivity holder with the pump to be more stable?
