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.
