I got the stuff to make this DIY probe holder here:

And I have the room to put it in my manifold off of my return pump. I figure my Mag 9.5 puts maybe 400gph back to the display after T's for the fuge and CA reactor. Would this cause any damage to have the probe in this line?
The other option is on one of the T's, I have my CA reactor feed. I could put it in this line so I would know the pH of water going into the reactor, and via a second probe I'd know the pH of water circulating in the reactor. Is one location better than the other for monitoring? I do run kalk so I'd like it to be responsive. Maybe it's just my thinking but I'd think the response would be lower using the feed to the reactor than of the straight return, but the time may be negligible since I rarely get my pH above 8.3 anyways and have yet to have my ATO shut off b/c of pH issues...
So, any recommendations on best placement? Both require the same amount of effort since the plumbing is already done, it's just a matter of removing a plug, or adding a T, no big deal.
