Calcium reactor PH help

[Bao hoang]

recently installed a new calrx to my system and slowly dialing it in. If you look at my apex PH chart, it jumps from 7.4. - 7.5 Really fast throughout the day. Would you suggest slowing down the bubble count or slowing effluent to get a more slower fluctuation of PH throughout the day? Thank you

If your alk is stable and within normal limits, It should be fine.

Are you using pH to tell Apex to turn ON/OFF the solenoid? Try slowing the bubble count and see if it stabilizes any better. You should be able to set up your reactor so the solenoid is always ON (open). This takes a bit of patience but is worth it.

Yes, my PH tells my apex to turn on/off the solenoid. I am trying to do what you suggest, keep the solenoid always on to eliminate it turning off and on all the time. I will slow down the bubble count. Thank you for your help.

You might do well to start with a 1 bubble/10 second rate and then gradually increase it... versus starting with a high bubble rate and reduce. Will work out better for you. Just be patient and it'll work!
