I just received my Doser and have a few questions. I had been dosing by hand for some time now so i decided to make the jump to automate it so i am complete new to this equipment. So please forgive me if these questions are obvious but I just want to be sure.
-What type of tubing should I purchase the goes from the doser to the container holding the chemicals then from the doser to the tank? I know the tubing that is already on the pump heads are chemical resistant so one would think the rest of the tubing should be as well? Or is the clear flexible tubing from home depot/lowes good enough? What does everyone else use?
-I am running out of space in my cabinet that supports my tank. To make this work within that space I would need to mount the doser upside down so that the GHL Logo (and status indicator light) faces the ground. Is there anything wrong with doing this? Can the pump heads be removed and rotated so the lines are face down (how they normally are) instead of up?
-Since I had been dosing by hand, i would just dump in my chemicals all at once. Now that I have the doser I know that i go much slower! What is the thinking behind how fast or slow someone should dose ALK and Calc? I know the pumps can dose as slow as .1 ml per min. I need to dose 50ml of each per day, can someone recommend how fast to dose it and when? Should it be broken up into multiple doses throughout the day?
-Does GHL have an actual Manual on how to use this doser and the software? The quick start guide and instruction manual that is provide is pretty much useless for someone who knows nothing about this equipment.
