iV/X10 Setup Suggestions & Improvements

[BAMatter]

the glass probe is MUCH more responsive to changes from the acid titration. I find that it does hold values tighter

Maybe I’ll give it a shot. Have you used the glass probe with a KH Carer as well? Seems like my values on the KHC are tighter than my X10 and the probe they use looks to be a Pinpoint rebranded as Kamoer but don’t quote me on that… both tanks get dosed once an hour 24/7, so variables aside, something seems off somewhere

another thing you can try is getting one of those plastic bulb pipettes used to sample water or chemicals, and cut the tip off about 1". Then insert that into the end of the regent down tube into the iV beaker. This reduces the diameter of the output and controls how much acid is released during dosing. I found that it helps alittle bit to tighten up measurements as well.

Funny you mention this, I was going to put a Red Sea dosing tube cap I have laying around on the end of the reagent tube to do exactly that, as long as it fits in the iv tubing.

@JeffB418 do you think there is a better way of doing this? Thinkin maybe some sort of rubber nipple for the end of the tubing that will be a bit more secure? Or even maybe some sort of reducer? Any thoughts, or is the pipette just the way to go?
