Prime chiller

[Montaquelaveist]

Hey guys i recently got a prime modular chiller from another MR member this thing wokrs great and is quiet as amouse just one thing the controller is not giving a correct reading on the temp its telling me my tank is over 115 degrees at that temp i would have a fish bake does anyone know if there is a way to reset this i tried holding the set button for ten seconds and nothing happened, also does anyone know how to clean off a ph monitor and also do really need to in order to use it, it was used once and then stored away it looks really clean and no residue so i dont know if i should order a cleaning solution or not its milwaukee sms 122 ph probe

Most likely the controller is defective get your self a ranco or a reef keeper to control the chiller.

where did you place the temp probe is it near the lighting if not it may be adjusted here's the link to the pdf for the chiller.http://www.google.com/#hl=en&xhr=t&...c.r_pw.&fp=97eede9ed711c932&biw=1920&bih=1010
If that doesn't help you can buy a ranco controller it's one of the easiest controllers out there to operate. http://www.amazon.com/RANCO-ETC-111000-Digital-Temperature-Control/dp/tags-on-product/B0015NV5BE


As for the probe cleaning here it is--
Cleaning
The solution used to clean pH electrode depends on the presence of possible contaminants. Mechanically intact electrodes may show slow response due to coating or clogging. Use the guide below to choose the appropriate cleaning solution options:-

• For general cleaning: Soak the pH electrode in 0.1 M HCl or 0.1 M HNO3 for 20 minutes. Rinse well in tap water before use.
• For removing stubborn deposits and bacteria: Soak the pH electrode in a 1:10 dilution of household laundry bleach for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly before use.
• For removal of oil and grease: Rinse the pH electrode in mild detergent or methyl alcohol. Wash in water before use.
• For removal of protein deposits: Soak the pH electrode in 1% pepsin in 0.1m HCl (EC-DPC-BT) for 5 minutes. Rinse well in water before use.

it is a Ranco controller and the probe is in the chiller thats where it says to place it

I would place probe in sump or display

No sir the probe has to go in the sump to give you the temp of the water if it's in the chiller as you said it's reading the temp of the chiller that's why it's saying 115 degrees

Actually i fixed the problem it does go into the chiller there is a spot for it the problem was that it wasnt pushed all the way in so it was reading the temp from the fan blow off but its working perfect now and giving the correct reading thanx for all the input now im trying to get my ph probe up and running lmao its reading but not sure the reading is correct i will do a ph check to see how far off it is i already did the calibration so i assume its reading correct and if it is im in trouble lmao
