Problem-solving with a faulty Redox probe: A Customer-Advisor Conversation

Client:

Hello, I ordered a redox probe for an Astra Pool Smart Next electrolyzer, but it's not working.

Technical Advisor:

Hello

Client:

I calibrated it with the 470 cmv solution and it works, but as soon as I put it in the water, it stops working.

It drops to 0 clmv.

Technical Advisor:

What reading do you get when you put it in the calibration solution?

Client:

470

454 and I calibrate it to read 470

Technical Advisor:

Then do this little test https://ph-redox-pool.com/gb/content/17-is-my-redox-probe-out-of-order

Give me the result, it will allow us to be certain that the problem comes from the probe.

Client:

324 without salt

Technical Advisor:

And with?

Client:

301

Technical Advisor:

Okay, the probe is faulty, I will replace it, please give me your name.

Client:

Heyer Lionel

Technical Advisor:

I will send it today.

Client:

Are you sure they are compatible with my electrolyzer? I was at Irrijardin and they told me I had to use the original ones that cost 470 euros.

Technical Advisor:

Yes, that's not a problem. It's just a faulty probe, unfortunately, it happens.

Client:

Okay, great. Thank you for your help. Should I send back the old one or can I throw it away?
