I got a 15.7 dkh result today, with salifert solutions . Manually tested after, and it was 8.
I ordered some ABC reagents to try. I still haven't read enough about adjustments, etc.
I mean, there's a lot of valid criticism against the reefbot, and if you look at the BeanAnimal thread their support really lacks, but from what I see the Mastertronic is just as bad if not worse. Maybe we're just not really ready for autotesters.
That's what I'm thinking.
Hello! I apologize for not noticing this thread earlier. If you encounter this problem, please make sure to connect the device within the first 10 minutes after initiation. Also, please ensure that your wifi's password only contains letters and numbers, without any special characters.
Hello, I'm sorry to hear that. I have forwarded your ticket to the support team. They should have contacted you by now to assist you with this matter.
Hi Dave! The maximum value that Salifert alkalinity reads is 15.7 dkh. When you get this result(and is wrong), this usually happens when the titrant/indicator is insufficient, as the endpoint color will never be reached. Our team would like to send you some pointers via email to help you with some recommendations regarding the tests you are using. Can you please provide us with your email address?
Please be advised that the ABC reagents are currently in the Beta phase, as indicated on the app. Due to this, we do not recommend using them at this time as they may not provide accurate results. If you would like, I can send you some test kits that we recommend for use with the device in your location. Let me know if you would like me to do so.
Hello Dave, could you kindly provide me with your email address, so that the team can reach you?
Hello Eric, this slight change is due to the water inside the needle, this is normal.
When you calibrate your test chamber, the pumps will learn your tube lengths. The device pulls water once initiating every test to ensure that new water is being tested. If needed, you can prime the tube by selecting it in the "Device Hardware Test" option on the tests setup page. However, priming will not be necessary in your case.
This formula enables the pumps to learn the tube lengths to dispense the old and residue water inside the tubes before testing new water.
It's important to note that enhancements made to newer devices are not indications of any faults with the previous versions. Older devices function perfectly fine. The only difference between earlier batches and newer ones is the inclusion of an upgraded photometer and stirrer motor. Upgrades are routine and implemented regularly every few batches.
This exists, but we do not believe it is essential, especially since the device does this automatically and ensures pumping only new water during each test.
We have added optional stirring tests that can be scheduled by users for reagents that tend to go stale when left untouched for a few days. However, this feature is not implemented automatically for all reagents since some reagents should never be mixed, and to avoid any conflicts with users' scheduled tests. This feature was implemented in the past few years to stir reagents automatically when no tests are running. However, there were some complaints, as some units were running at night, so these tests should remain optional. You can find them on the tests setup page as well.
We will ensure the best experience possible, our agents are ready to help and assist you with any question or issue you might be facing.
Hello Bill! I hope you're doing well. We wanted to remind you that we are available to assist you in setting up your device and helping you change your initial opinions.
Although currently unavailable due to the fact that the ReefBot is as accurate as the test kit used, the team is planning to introduce such a feature on the mobile app. This feature is aimed at providing the users the ability to increment their values when they believe that the test kit accuracy does not meet their expectations.
