1. Basics
The redox-potential or oxidation/reduction potential (ORP) is an electrical value which is a
parameter for the oxidation and reduction processes in the aquarium.
The redox-potential is of special interest in:
-
Assessing the quality of sea water in aquariums. The ideal range is between 300 mV and 400
mV. If needed, the range can be increased by injecting Ozone into the protein skimmer. The
higher the value - the higher the percentage of oxidation, the „cleaner“ the water.
-
The redox-potential is used in denitrifying filters to check the acidity. The ideal values are
between -300 mV and -100 mV.
-
-In swimming pools the redox-potential can be used for sterilisation by regulating the amount
of chlorine added by maint700 mV.
2. Features
AB Aqua Medic Computers are microprocessor controlled units. They are safe, reliable and meet all
the requirements of professional measuring and regulating devices.
The AB Aqua Medic mV-Computer is supplied with a redox probe and standard solution. The
ozonizer ( not included) can be connected to the female side of the main power plug.
