      What's the best way to measure dissolved oxygen in the water?

      What's the best way to measure dissolved oxygen in the water?
      Electronic meter or some other means?

      And, how much should there be?

      Thanks.

      Oxygen saturation is temperature sensitive with cold water able to hold much more oxygen than hot water. You really want to strive for near 100%saturation. The times I have tested, I have used a drop type kit and it reads in ppm. It comes with a temperature vs. ppm graph to show % saturation.

      I don't run the test very often.
