Our EC meter is a Horiba LAQUAtwin: LAQUAtwin-EC-11. Had difficulty calibrating. Will check EC calibration solution date.
Our Ammonium reading is very low, and the colour of the sample was VERY dark yellow.
The surface of the water seemed very scummy, perhaps from tree pollen. The vegetation on the banks continues to grow.
