Then it is probably wise to tell folks, who don't have a meter, to detox
between treatments so they don't over treat. Thanks for the additional info

I bought the ORP meter to help me determine the level of activity, because I
have problems telling brown or tea, from pink/purple in the treatments. I
found with my treatments, that the brown color that I would ordinarily have
neutralized the PP the ORP value said it was still very much active. Even
an hour after it had turned brown, by my eyes, it was still marginally in
the active range. The use of Hydrogen Peroxide to clear the water, also
neutralizes the PP and per Doc Johnson, the H2O2 remains active for up to 3
days, whereas sodium thio is used up in 24 hours.
