Aqua Medic mV computer Manual De Instrucciones página 5

With the purchase of this digital measuring and regulating equipment, you have selected a top quality product.
It has been specifically designed for aquaristic purposes. With this unit, you can continuously measure and
control the redox-potential of water in your aquarium.
1. Basics
The redox-potential or oxydation/reduction potential (ORP) is an electrical value which is a parameter for the
oxydation and reduction processes in the aquarium.
The redox-potential is of special interest in:
- Assessing the quality of salt water in aquaria. 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 oxydation, the „cleaner" the water is.
- 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 sterilization by regulating the amount of chlorine added
by maintaining +700 mV.
2. Features
Aqua Medic Computers are micro-processor controlled units. They are safe, reliable and meet all requirements
of professional measuring and regulating devices. The 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.
