Hi Vanessa, The DO tester fired-up yesterday, calibrated and showed NO problem!!! I did notice the membrane was still moist from last month, so I left some deionized drops in the cap. If I can keep it moist for the month, it might stay happy. Always hoping. The flow is very low, only just crossing the ford. Normally it is spread across the ford as it is very flat. Yesterday it covered approx a quarter of the ford. And I had 130mm of rain in Jan. The oxygen reading was low, which is probably a result of the slow flow and the algae buildup. Always happy to see your smiling face at one of our meetings. I received an account from Vendart for Landcare to pay and passed it on to the treasurer.
