victoly Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 this is the one I use. Very happy with it, no regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Use a block of styrofoam. I'm assuming the styrofoam is placed on the water and there's no problem if it gets wet? And it just floats maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Just make holes big enough for the probe but not the top of the probe so it doesn't fall thru. I don't like the fixed probe holders because when I turn off my return the top / wire of the probe could get submerged when the sump takes on the excess DT water.

+Mitch Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Most pH probes are fully submersible. when i was doing my research when i first started, the advice then, i believe, was to not allow them to get submerged. besides the BRS probes i got back then didn't look too water tight IMO, so i wasn't gonna risk it.

I don't deserve credit as I read about it on RC many moons ago. Actually, I use a combination of an AutoTopOff bracket to keep the probe where I want it and a small styrofoam block so it floats when needed.
