    First,
    Welcome to, IMHO, the BEST pool board on the net! I saw your post on another board about your ORP meter and I have to agree with the answer given there. Your meter or electrode is probably defective. This is one of the main reasons that I do not like electronic testers....they tend to be delicate and the probes can be expen$ive to replace! Also, pool chemistry ain't rocket science! Your numbers look great, the pool is clear! I have a question....why aren't you in it swimming and enjoying it instead of stressing over a strange reading from an ORP meter that is obviously broken! The fact that you are on your third meter with 2 known defectives says something!
    My advice is ditch the meter and enjoy your pool!
