Alkalinity controller without reagent! Aquawiz

[ivanotas]

I dont know if this is new? the android apk is on the website.

Saw its website and it also share it can control the ph on the apex system. Can you help to elaborate more on this? Wondering should I get the trident or this..

Here is a video on how to connect Aquawiz to Apex or any other controller.

When is the android apps coming? the web based site need frequently login once in awhile. Do share once its available.

Android app just got released!

Here is the one month data to prove the stability. My calcium reactor was automated with aquawiz kha and cra. My target kh is 8. Randy, I would like you to try one out yourself. Please message me. Thanks

What's gate valve problem?

I’ve been using the AquaWiz for a few months now, and if you’re serious about your reef tank, it’s a must-have. It tests alkalinity automatically and reliably, taking all the guesswork out of daily testing. My levels have been more stable than ever, and I don’t have to worry about forgetting or skipping a test. It’s been a huge time-saver and gives me confidence that my tank is staying dialed in.

I have had one of these for a little over 6 months and I love mine. It has been more consistent with my Hanna readings and ICP test results versus the other popular tester I’ve had for a couple of years now. Once I run out of the reagents I have on hand for my other tester I will discontinue using that one.

I have been using the Aquawiz on my DT for the past month, and its been the extremely accurate. I have it hooked up to my Apex controlling my Calcium Reactor. Check out how consistent the readings are for the past month. Ignore the first week, thats when my Trident was still controlling the Calcium Reactor, once I got the Aquawiz added to the Apex with the PM1 module and a BNC connector you can see the graph really level out. There is a post a few replies above this one that shows you how to connect to the Apex if you wanted to add it to yours, or feel free to ask me questions.

El principio de funcionamiento de esta máquina difiere de los métodos tradicionales. El margen de error es controlable. Si el agua del depósito presenta una pequeña diferencia con respecto al valor objetivo de la máquina, incluso después de un mes sin calibración, el error será de tan solo 0,2 dKH. No se producirá un error significativo debido a un pH sin calibrar.

**Factores que afectan la estabilidad del agua de mar de referencia** La estabilidad de la calidad del agua de mar de referencia es crucial para obtener mediciones precisas de KH. Idealmente, el valor de KH y la salinidad del agua de mar de referencia deberían estar cerca del valor de KH y la salinidad objetivo. Se recomienda utilizar agua de mar de acuario que haya alcanzado el valor de KH objetivo, agua de mar natural o agua de mar aireada con un separador de proteínas como agua de mar de referencia. Tenga en cuenta que el valor de KH de algunas aguas de mar de acuario puede no ser estable en condiciones estáticas, disminuyendo rápidamente y causando mediciones de KH inexactas.

**Contaminación del agua de mar de referencia:**Durante las mediciones, dado que se comparte la misma sonda de pH en el tubo de ensayo izquierdo, una pequeña cantidad del agua de mar de referencia puede mezclarse con el agua de mar del acuario, lo que provoca que el valor de KH del agua de mar de referencia se acerque gradualmente al del agua de mar del acuario. Si la diferencia a largo plazo entre los valores de KH del agua de mar de referencia y el agua de mar del acuario supera 1,0 dKH, se recomienda reemplazar el agua de mar de referencia y calibrar el KH. Como alternativa, puede optar por

Calibre cada semana hasta que el KH del agua de mar de referencia se aproxime al del agua de mar del tanque. Si la diferencia a largo plazo es inferior a 0,4 dKH, la calibración puede extenderse a aproximadamente una vez al mes. En general, la desviación de la medición de KH debido a la contaminación es de aproximadamente ~0,002 / (x∆KH). ∆KH = (KH de referencia - KH promedio del tanque). Si ∆KH = 1,0 dKH y se mide 100 veces (aproximadamente 4 días, 1 vez por hora), la desviación será de 0,2 dKH. Si ∆KH = 0,1 dKH y se mide 1000 veces (aproximadamente 41 días), la desviación será de 0,2 dKH.

Hola, ¿cómo puedo comprar equipo? Estoy en México.

Definitely not silent as you have the air bubbler. I wouldn’t define it as loud. I only have experience with an Alkatronic and the x10 and I’d say this isn’t any louder as the bubbler is about as loud as the dosing pumps themselves. The testing on the hour definitely makes it more noticeable tho.

I’m thinking of purchasing one in the next month now a couple of months has gone since you’ve posted this. Are you still having good results? Any problems?

The bnc cable is not provided but it's just a standard one you can buy off of Amazon and is cheap,

Amazon.com

We are beta testing the iPhone app currently and it's also super easy to login to website and setup the product, this gives a detailed description of how the product works and the maintenance required. At top of the page is PowerPoint and below that is full documentation.

Here is my 200g system fully automated with the calcium reactor and see how the kh is kept as close to 8.0 which is my target.
Please feel free to ask me any questions you have. The web page above provides complete details.

Is the iPhone app available now?

Any videos of these doing an actual test? Does empty the water it holds and re-adds fresh water for a new test?

Yes I can send you a unit to Mexico. Please email me at [email protected]

I've had mine up for about 10 days and it's been testing consistently with my salifert kit. I am strictly monitoring at the moment, but will probably try the automated dosing at some point. I've been manually dosing enough to bring it up different levels and watching the testing results after. I've done (.25, .5 and 1 dkh) and the unit has been within a 0.1 or less, which for me is more than good enough, especially since that could be because I'm guessing at my water volume between rocks, sand, coral etc. Before the Android app came out, I also decided to connect via a PM1 on the apex, and I enjoy the tracking that allows me as well. The graphing from the App is much more pleasing to the eye because it'll give you trended lines intead of just a basic line graph like apex, but as long as you can understand what the apex graph is showing that's enough for me.

Also worth nothing, for the questions I had, Anand has been very quick and helpful to get answers or explain things.

Actually the guide is pretty straight forward. just read it before working on it. (most of us are pretty much used to plug n play, ignoring the guide.) thereafter some adjustment on the water level adjustment of required. (simple press of buttons)
I am using this unit to help me understand the alkalinity stability in my tank. I am still keeping my hanna checker ready. if the unit readout tends to drift. I will use the Hanna checker to re-calibrate it back. (so far the weekly check seems to be pretty much align with Hanna and Aquaiz, hence no re-calibrating, also planning to drag it to monthly).

They still running on my tanks! The only problem I’ve had is I forget about them lol. It’s crazy not having to check reagent or anything. I just calibrate regularly and it’s been one of the best pieces of equipment I have purchased.

 

[don_pips]

This thing is truly amazing. Super accurate and I hardly calibrate it. Tested to check yesterday haven’t calibrated in 4 months and was spot on. Def buy one game changer.

 

[bubbgee]

How's accuracy of the pH data? I am hating the pH probes on the Apex already.
