    HYDROS DOSING

    I use multiple schedules if I am dosing different amounts at different times. You should be able to do what you want if you use more than one schedule. Just make sure they do not overlap.

    HYDROS DOSING

    The dose amount you set in the schedule is the total dose for the period of the schedule and not the individual dose amount unless there is only one dose in the schedule.

    Command Bus Powered Probe Port Module(s)

    I don't know how good it will work. If it was me I would just get the X3 and have the extra sense ports also.

    Command Bus Powered Probe Port Module(s)

    If you really want to try and add pH port and have a 0-10v input free on one of your controllers you can try the 0-10v version of one of these which is just pH and temp since it has compensation but it would require another 0-10v input for the temp. But this is not much cheaper than a X3 and...

    X3 does not connect with the app

    Are you in line of sight of the controller with the device you are using the app on. If it is you may want to submit a support ticket for this issue. Here is a link Submit ticket .

    X3 does not connect with the app

    So it does not show when you try and add it to you account and setup the wifi credentials? When I click on the + sign in the upper right of the menu it should give you a list of Hydros controllers. Here is mine when I click the + sign but since mine have already been added they have the names I...

    Replacement tips/barbs for hydros drive port dosing pump

    I used 3/16" to 1/8" barb fittings to go from Hydros dosing pump tubing to RODI tubing.

    Command Bus Powered Probe Port Module(s)

    It has to be a controller to communicate on the command bus. The analog signal has to be converted to digital and then communicated to all the other controllers in the collective. So the microcontroller also has to have the hardware and communication protocol in it firmware to talk to the other...

    Command Bus Powered Probe Port Module(s)

    To communicate on the command bus the device has to be a controller. So it has to have the same microchip as the X3 and the X3 only has 1ph/ORP port and 2 sense ports. If you start adding more probe ports it would be more than the $300 of the X3. The X3 only is only $199 and not $300. A Digital...

    Hydros ATO will not dispense water

    The advanced settings are a backup for the sensor in a way. If you set a maximum on time and set run past max on time to off it will only run the maximum on time and then turn off until the sensor reads wet again or you intervene and override the output and then set it back to auto. You can also...

    Hydros ATO will not dispense water

    I was not aware that the kit had the triple level sensor in it now. The last regular water level sensor I got was a square sensor and was not a triple level sensor.

    Collective reset

    Did you have her try rebooting your router. Also have her check the lights especially on the X4. If they are breathing red then that is no wifi connection. If they are breathing a green-yellow color that is no internet access. If it is breathing blue and in the normal time for the lights to be...

    Hydros ATO will not dispense water

    For one you do not want to set the maximum off time to 5 seconds unless you want it to alway be sending alerts. That setting is used to only send an alert if there is no top off done within the time it is set. I have mine set to 6 hours. Dose your input for the ATO show dry when it is removed...

    Status Light meaning on controller

    The terminators are a resistor that is across two pins of the command bus and allows communication between the controllers that are connected to the bus. It is a type of CAN bus system similar to the one used in cars. I am not sure the exact differences so that is why referred to it as similar...

    Status Light meaning on controller

    For small collectives you can probably get by with just one terminator but the next time you order you might want to get another so you will have it when you do need it. If you keep adding to the collective at some point you will need the second terminator. The only power supply that has an...
