I asked my husband for an ORP monitor for Xmas and the best thing about it is that I'm learning new ways to get the levels up. It's kind of cool because you can see what a difference it makes when you do maintainance stuff.
When I first got it, it was reading around 360, but lately it's up around 400.
I cleaned my sump and got 10 points
I lifted the durso standpipes up for a minute to let the sludge at the bottom of the OF wash thru - another 10 points!
Cleaning the skimmer is always good for 5 points
Cleaning the teeth at the top of the OF - 5 points
Now, I'm looking at the plumbing pipes and wondering how I can clean those out - and how many points I'll get if I can do it.
