EC measurement is over range, despite calibration attempted on AUTO, LOW and HIGH settings would this be correct, given estuarine system? Never seemed to be a problem before? Phosphorus levels are high. Initial reading was off the scale, so I diluted sample so as sample was about 2/3 sample and 1/3 distilled water - worth looking at Tanya? Read at 0.11 mg/L diluted by 2/3 so 0.33mg/L - not entered into DB as it was not diluted with a measuring cylinder.
