=== LCD Monitor ===
=== LCD Monitor ===


As of 2021, the monitor is an "old" HP Compaq LA2405x.  This was an older surplus unit, chosen for its scrap bin destiny.  It's fully expected that this monitor may eventually fail due to the corrosive environment it's exposed to in the summer, along with a cold/damp/unconditioned environment in the winter.  Replacement is straightforward; screws accessible on the bottom side release it from the VESA wall mount.  Any monitor with HD or better resolution and an HDMI input should suffice.

The ORP graph shows the ORP measurement over time.  The graph shown contains two days worth of history.  Certain events, marked by numbers, can be identified:
 
# A valley indicates a ORP trend direction change.  This typically occurs when chlorine is added to the pool.
# Overshoot and leveling-off is common overnight, as a lack of UV (and to some extent, pool occupants) prevents the rapid breakdown of chlorine in the pool water.
# Two events are identified in this marker.  First, the gradual drop in ORP as the sun hits the pool (starting at about 7:30 am).  Then, like in #1, a rise in ORP as chlorine is added to the pool.  Overshoot is much lower in this instance, as the pool is occupied and mid-day sunshine contributes to rapid chlorine breakdown.
