    Loon Lake West Shore by Mike Grinnell

    New ORP meter in use. Factory calibrated and verified at my home at 256 mv. The ORP recorded was 213 mV from pumped water at big rock in front of my home. Totally acceptable reading.

    Loon Lake West Shore by Mike Grinnell

    Taken at MECP test site. ORP not taken because of defective AZ 8552 meter that had moisture inside the meter. Chloride by titration and reading expected.

    Areas of site very silty, Some dead invertebrates Heavy rain the previous day. 2.50ppm is maximum reading possible for phosphate hannah checker?

    Lots of floating green patchy algae does clear up depending on the wind. No smell present

    Loon Lake West Shore by Mike Grinnell

    Phosphate 0.25 mg/L; ORP 151mV; chloride 6.0 mg/L (titration); Water drawn from lakewater pump at a depth of 2.0 meters. Would prefer a higher ORP value.

    Upper Retention Pond - North point by High Park Nature Centre

    The battery in the conductivity meter (which we also use to test the water temperature) died so those measurements weren't take. On the surface of the water there was natural debris, litter, scrum, and floating algae. Water flow is slow. Water level is average. Water is cloudy. Smells of sewage.
