    Default where do I get Quinhydrone solution?

    So.. i bought some ORP calibration solution for my aquacontroller 3, and went and started calibrating it before i realized I needed quinhydrone solution. so it messed up the reading and now only reads 000's.. i tried a full reset since people told me that might set it to the factory calibration... but it didnt.. so...

    anyone have some or know where to get some?? would like to get the ORP working..

    MarineDepot is the only place I've seen it available. They have it only as part of an ORP calibration kit...

    I considered it purchasing the kit, but Neptune is about to release a firmware update that provides for probe offset values. So it's possible to simply measure the probe error using 400mv solution, then enter the offset correction in the firmware. Unless you're running Ozone, in which case the probe should be properly calibrated - otherwise, it's just a trend indicator. Unfortunately, that won't work with your controller in it's current state.

    Did you contact Neptune? I did the same thing you did when I initially got my Apex but I was able to restore the probe to factory settings. I'd want to rule out the possibility of a bad probe or other issue with the controller.
