Ya I know, that already a great OPR reading!

Make sure you clean your probe regularly - I noticed my ORP values go higher and higher without cleaning my probe. I found a wire brush and vinegar helped it out nicely. After the cleaning I noticed my ORP which was once 375 was now 279!

Make sure to clean your probe once a month to ensure accuracy of it. Plus with your water volume, a 25mg/hr dose really isn't anything to be overly concerned about.

So Harvey how much should I be dialing in any ways my orp is kicking around 380- 390 now with 35MG /hr

Set a value, wait a bit and look at your orp. See if those values are being maintained where you want them to be and adjust as neccessary if needed. Its basically like dialing in a calcium reactor.

I have the same unit on my 250. When I run it at 100% I can get close to 400, but rarely ever go over.

Just slowly take your time (over a couple of months) turning it up until you notice no improvement in your system.

It sounds like your system is good already.

Nice clear water though, yeh?
