In regards to the dissolved oxygen figures. The Lamotte 3 meter stated overrange, however when we did the test after diluting it we got 4.7ppm, which when doubled is 9.4ppm. We thought this was strange because the final result is below the overrange figure, so not sure what is happening with the meter. We tried a back up using the old meter which gave the result as 8.4.
