Probe Sizes

[chriscobb]

In the process of building a probe holder for in my new sump and curious as to the diameter of the probes....Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!! I thought I read somewhere about spacing requirment between the PH and ORP probes.....any truth to that? I owned the ACIII Pro, and thought I remembered something about 6" between them?????

The pH and ORP probes should be no more than 6" from the Temp probe on the PRO model.

Thanks Tom....I thought I remembered something of that nature. Why do the little dumb things stick in my mind.

Temp, pH, ORP, and conductivity all the same 1/2"?

Yes but the cap on the temp probe should not be removed, so it will not fit in a 1/2" hole

Well, not feeding it in cap first, but if you feed the temp probe into the holder plug end first, it'll fit.

The plug on the temp probe will fit through a 1/2" compression holder?

Will Magnets mess with any of the probes? (ph, temp, conductivity, ORP) Many of the probe holders cling to the tank with a magnet.

Yes. The plug on the temp probe is an RJ-11 (i.e., standard telephone) jack. Easily threads through a 1/2" hole.

I haven't found the magnets on my Eshopps probe holder, which are unusually strong, to affect my pH, ORP, or temperature probes. I haven't tested the effect of magnetism on my salinity probe, and thus can't comment on that one.

Yep.. I left the solution unstated as an exercise in creativity

And might I add, going sideways is....right out. :spin1:
