Am beginning to think the Reactive Phosphate reading is real. Two months running with no change to method or order or result. For both the 3rd November and 3rd December visits, I measured at Stoney Creek first and got a > 0.25 reading and then at Enders bridge later with 0.03 reading. Speculation as to the source at Stoney Creek could be the golf course or nearby industry?
