As rushbattle mentioned above, this is not completely true. Siphons are almost purely dependent on the potential energy difference between the two fluid levels.
This is calculated by PE = pg(h1-h2), where p= density of fluid, g=acceleration of gravity, h1 = height 1 of fluid and h2 = height 2 of fluid. This is true regardless of the path that the fluid takes. In other words, drip loops are irrelevant if output with drip loops is the same height output without drip loops.
No reason to apologize!You are right and I'm sorry. I was being very liberal when I used the term drip loop. I was trying to use it to describe a way to balance the potential energy so as to not create a siphon.
Take some air line start a siphon from 1 bucket to another. Then make a loop in it slowly raising the center where the 2 lines cross until the siphon stops. The gravity in the center of the loop can counteract the gravity pulling from each side.
hey i posted this in another thread, hopefully Reef Breeders can help
“i am having problems getting my doser to connect to my home wifi
i can connect to the “Dosing__” network, set up the doser and get it calibrated, but when i go to connect to my home network, enter in the wifi name and password, it fails and disconnects.
what am i doing wrong?”
also, after someone recommended i reset the box:
“i tried resetting it. this is driving me crazy.
everything works fine until i try to connect to my home network. it says something about the software will save, my phone connects to my home wifi, then when i open the app, the search doesn’t find the doser. i have to reset the app/doser, reconnect to the “Dosing_xxxx” network again in order for the app to find the doser”
help please!
It says 179.99
please do tell us what exactly went wrong as my doser is exactly a year old. did all 4 pumps just pump out all 4 solutions ?
How do you drop a bomb like that and not have any explanation whatsoever? You only have 2 post so we would like to know more about your experience. Do you have any idea as to what happened? Did it back siphon on you? Did the pumps just keep spinning? What happened?
I just sent a message to ReefBuilders asking for help, but thought I'd also make a post here to see if anyone has some tips. I did have things working, straight out of the box, no issues, and worked for multiple days. But now after a week, when I did parameter testing and I wanted to adjust the daily dosage, I can't get the Doser to connect.
I can get the SSID signal on my phone and connect to the Doser, but not reliably, and the app never finds the Doser. The Doser sometimes does not want to accept the "12345678" password. Airplane Mode does allow me to see the Doser from my iPhone, but not always either. I ended up shutting down my home router, and then I had a more reliable time seeing the Dower SSID.
Help! All I wanted to do is adjust the daily dosage, and the dang thing is now completely off line, and I can't re-connect!
Hey Wally, we already got back to you via email and are sending a new dosing pump body asap.
The doser works great, but getting the app to connect to the doser is finicky at best. If you're using something like an iPad I typically have to restart the app several times before I can get the app to find and connect to the doser. This means doubling tapping the home button and killing the app by swiping it away. Then open the app again and hope it finds it. Typically, I have to do this like 3-4 times before it connects - it's annoying. But I've found the doser to be accurate and consistent.I just sent a message to ReefBuilders asking for help, but thought I'd also make a post here to see if anyone has some tips.
