Without knowing how much volume your dosing pump puts out per minute, we can't know whether or not you will be dosing 33 ml. I can tell you what your code is doing and you can see whether or not that is what you want to do!

The alkalinity doser will run for 3 minutes and 45 seconds every hour between the hours of 10:00 pm to 5:00 am. It will not run if the pH is greater than 8.20.

The magnesium doser will run for 3 minutes and 45 seconds every hour between the hours of 9:00 am and 4:00 pm.

Some general thoughts- I don't know the dosing rate of your pumps, but almost 4 minutes every hour seems a bit high. Putting in Fallback OFF is a good idea. Turning your alkalinity off at a certain maximum pH is a good (assuming you are using something that raises your pH); however, 8.20 seems a little low to me.

Thanks for the response. My pumps dose 1.1ml per min

Looks like it's right at 1.1ml per minute. However, I would suggest feeding it into a graduated cylinder or other measuring device for a day to check.
