If you’re dosing PH based you’ll definitely want another PH probe in your sump so you get real time readings and can start/stop the kalk pump without too much delay and risk of under or over dosing. The X10 and iV will only produce a PH reading at the beginning of every alk test.
Ok thanks for confirming. So now I need a control 3 or 4 correct
That’s right. Anything with a probe port and you’ll be styling. Try to think long term before you make a decision on what to buy, a Control 4 will allow lots more expandability long term, but the 3 will do what you need to immediately.
Awesome thank you. Yea inwas lending towards the 4 since it was recommend by another person as well. Just need to set up my collective now. Ha
Last thing, I got a water level senor and trying to configure it to the x10 to stop dosing if the water level gets too high. Is that possible?
Yea that’s easy to do. Just need to program the sensor as an input, and the have an input count of 1 linked to the sensor on the pump output
If you are using a schedule to dose then you would need to create a output that turns on or off when the water level is high. That is up to you. Then you would use that output in the depends on on the schedule for the dosing.You would set the dependency mode to off if on or off if off depending on which way that output was configured to be of the water level is high.
Ahhh ok. I was looking at the schedule and didn't see the depends on WATER LEVEL. only my wifi feeder. So I need and output as well. Thanks. I'll give that a go
Give that a shot. You will be able to tell on the output log if it is dosing at the times or not and check the output created to see if any missed ones match it.
Thank you for your patience. Starting to get the hang of this system.
Do you really want your doser at 100ml/min?
What would be a better option?
Really as slow as you can so it’s a constant drip coming in without causing any parameter spikes. I prefer to run it 2ml/min when dosing 24/7 or 4ml/min when dosing nighttime only. This is also my evap rate.
Ah OK. Let me figure that out. Definitely running at night time only. Last time I check my evap was 1.7 gallons but I've switch my skimmer and thats messed it up a bit. Thank you for catching that.
Ok slowest I can go is 10ml per minute for how long and how much to dose.
That’s much better than 100 in my opinion.
I think this is a risky way to dose Kalk. It’s basically relying on the water level and has no other leashes. If that sensor fails, it’s dumping alk in all night long. Unless I’m missing something here.
ok I get that. My schedule is 7450ml max dose. Per night. As I dial in my evap. I want the sensor to stop the doser if I dose too much. That and I am checking all and ca.
