Hi Kirsten, I'm not sure that the EC value for this data is correct. I did test the water three times as it seemed high but all three times, with re-calibration, the same result was achieved. Maybe this is a good excuse for us to have a coffee and check out my EC meter? Hope you are well, Ellen KJH visited Ellen 7-3-14 and checked her meter, which is okay. Tested against mine and both reading the same. Also looked at historical data and have been results similar at same time of the year at site downstream. All okay. Site was stagnant disconnected pools with reduced water level when sample was taken, which has likely caused concentrated EC result.
