1.The warning:

"WARNING It is recommended that values outside the normal range should be confirmed before continuing:Electrical Conductivity [EC - Conductivity - HORIBA] outside normal range"  seems to be the same each month? Why? 

 2. All the data looks reliable except for the phosphorous reading which has jumped about from 0.01 to 0.45?  Is the new calroimeter reading reliable?
