doser calibration correctly

[pippol01]

I'm new to dosing. I just bought a new X1 Kamoer doser. My problem is about calibration I read that calibrate correctly The tubing had to be the correct length that you're going to use in your setup to calibrate correctly. The instructions say nothing about it. U Tube shows the hose only on the inline on the output side they only show them putting the 10 ML beaker under the output. Can someone tell me the correct way to calibrate?

I don't think the length of tubing matters... I didn't abide by this rule. Once the pump is primed and the entire length of hose is filled it doesn't matter.

I have 4 of the X1 Pro's. I calibrated using a gram scale and RODI. 10ml of water weighs 10 grams. When calibrating, it asks how much was dispensed. If the weight on the scale was 9.79 I'd enter that and it was perfectly calibrated.

I think I'm going to have to disagree here.
Spectrapure makes a Litremeter, a peristaltic doser.
It doses in increments 150 times a day & they tell you to calibrate with the correct hose length.

This is easy enough to test... I can take one of the heads and do the calibration with one length of hose. Then take a longer hose, prime the pump, and then test using RODI. If I tell it to dose 20ml it should weigh 20 grams. I calibrated the X1's and the RedSea Reef Dose units I have the exact same way. Both are accurate to the drop in my testing.

Yes that’s what I said in my original post . I didn’t know if both sides had to be equal or liike in the utube videos it only shows a tube on the in side on the out they just put the calibration tube under the outside.

Thanks, I’ll try it
