PinPoint DO probe for AC3?

[laverda]

Can I use a PinPoint dissolved oxygen probe on my AQ3? Or is their another reasonably priced probe I can use?

Neptune has their own PH probes and yes you can use a Pinpoint PH probe on the AQ3.

Ok I can get a pin point meter and probe for half what a probe is from Neptune.

wfgworks was talking about pH probes, not DO probes.

 

[laverda]

Thanks 73 I did not catch that!

 

[wfgworks]

My fault.

I think you have to use Neptunes DO probe because they look completely different but Curt will probably have to clear that up for you.

No, the pinpoint probe will not work with our controllers. The DO probe we use has a large thick teflon membrane. This membrane results in the probe being more more immune to scratches, and biofilms. Our probe can go 1+ months between calibrations; with the pinpoint probe you'll be lucky if you get 24 hours between calibrations.

Thank you Curt That is out of my budget!

But you can use the PH probes?

Other brand Ag/AgCl reference junction pH probes will likely work, however, they are not officially supported.
