Ive been using the GHL Stand alone doser 1 for around the last 3 years. Works great always has but something I've never been %100 clear on, and have heard two different things, is on the rate of dosing.
In the Menu, when you set how much to dose and then how many times a day, is the rate how much total it will dose each day or is it the amount multiplied by how many times per day?
Example in case that got confusing:
Is it
1) 6ml rate of dosing X 10 times a day= 60ml total
or
2) 6ml rate of dosing X 10 times a day= 6ml total so .6ml every time dosed

I would imagine its the first since I know my system uses more than 6ml of buffer a day but this is something I would like a definitive answer on since the manual does not state it and nothing on their forum states it either. I hope I'm wrong since doing the math does not always add up to a even number. Any help will be humbly appreciated since I never like to admit I don't know something! Thank you.
 
I use the same doser and I'm 99.99% sure it's the first one. So 6ml dose rate x 10 times per day gets you 60 ml per 24 day. I say 99.99% because are we ever 100% sure about anything in this hobby?

You are correct. I have used this doser for over 5yrs and that is exactly the formula for setting the dosing program.
