Bro, If you can wait then hold-on 1st. if you can't wait then get your ORP to "50"-point above your current ORP probe reading..this should be safe.

ie., if you reading now is 160, then set your ORP's setting to 210 (In two days time, your probe should auto calibrate to 22x (just like mine ) .

I am running my Milwaukee and PH-203 parallel in my sump with Milwaukee main connect to PH-203 probe and PH-203 unit connect to Milwaukee's probe.

As at this reading, my ORP reading with PH-203 probe is 339. My Milwaukee's probe reading is 396 (So, I confirm that the main unit is reading accurately as compare to Milwaukee).

It doesn't matter whether the probe is placed in the sump or main tank as long as there is a slow flow of water.

To elaborate a step forward Bro wlchew's finding, the pH-203 ph-ORP Controller is as accurate as the Milwaukee unit except that the pH-203 probe requires more time to stabilize to reflect the actual mV of the water.

So .. be patience for 3 days before setting the desired mV setpoint.

not using ozone....but reading is 320.....
Confirmation from Bro Tineng that the pH probe already calibrated .. so there is no compelling reason to calibrate it again.


Valuable findings from Bros Wlchew and Tineng ..
