Hi Chita It is satisfying that to know you consider me a fool, and that the material is reiterated rubbish! I will at least thank you for removing the need to type out long passages of text! As for plagiarism this can only be applied if the person has read previous material then copied and not reach...

Hi Al The point you are introducing is called the "meter offset" which I have not reached within the other column but may well be introduced as an addition to my previous post for Duncan It is not a magic formula to remove all error, However if you have the resources/desire to get the best...

Hi Duncan I can appreciate your frustration on this subject! I like frank statements and it is a difficult subject area! You are correct I cannot offer some magic formula to ensure accuracy, however if it helps I can offer one piece of advice that will get the best out of any instrument a keeper has...

Hi Duncan I do not really want to abbreviate as we have already met this problem before! However if we take a basic part of any measurement by "electronic meter" there must be an electron flow! Without this there can be no measurement! Now irrespective of whether you have a 100gal 10,000ga...

Hi Duncan I believe in one respect that is one of the most profound posts I have seen in a long time! However in one respect I have to differ! Whilst I agree that there may be a "a pissing contest about the miss readings that may or may not occur in the localized close proximity to the probe du...

Hi Gazza The "shaking around" of the probe is introducing "an error" this is where I am going in the meter error thread! Fast water flow can also introduce this type of error! I apologise that the information is a little slow in coming, but personal reasons are limiting my time f...

Hi Duncan Just a quick reply to say again, without a reference the "free electrons" again did not fall within a framework, and whilst I can see your reference to a repeated PP treatment this is pond wide effect, I am actually referring to the tiny volume surrounding a probe or electrodes o...

Hi All Not precisely sure where people want to go with this thread, As Duncan has pointed out everything regarding our water chemistry revolves around the redox process and as pointed out basic tests are more than adequate for the maintenance of water conditions that will maintain a compatible envir...

Hi Chita Please believe me when I say I understand the introduction of new information, I am a retired Lecturer, therefore have been used to transmitting new information, I also agree a synopsis will often give "base information" without the "deep exploratory" information needed ...

Hi Duncan/All First an apology, I believe my original post in trying to be brief was misleading as indicated in the first response from Gazza, also reading your last reply (Duncan) I think you felt I was querying your outline of the redox process, this is totally not true, I believe your layout and ...

Hi Gazza Seriously not trying to cause confusion, but as Duncan has pointed out within both the reference thread and this, most of the reactions within the pond with GH, KH, pH dH are all dependent on the addition/loss of an electron (or more 2, 3) so I am asking if the water itself is being taken i...

Hi Duncan Can I seriously ask a couple of questions? There is no intent to "find fault or trickery" but possibly add a new angle, for our water chemistry. Have you ever looked at the fact that water is a dielectric, this means that the water itself has a profound effect on electronic measu...
