How should I interpret my ORP reading?
When interpreting ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) readings, a positive value indicates an oxidizing environment, meaning the water has a higher potential to oxidize other substances, while a negative value signifies a reducing environment; essentially, a higher ORP reading means more oxidizin... -
How should I store my ORP probe?
First, follow all instructions included in the meter's packaging. Use MA9016 cleaning solution soaking for about 20 minutes for cleaning your probe. If needed, cleaning the Gold or Platinum Tip can also be performed by using a very fine abrasive paper and rubbing the tip of the ORP electrode. Af... -
ORP stands for Oxidation Reduction Potential, or Redox. The word oxidation means to combine with oxygen. Oxidation involves an exchange of electrons between two atoms. The atom that loses an electron in the process is oxidized. The one that gains an electron is reduced. Chemicals like chlorine, b...
