Why didn’t ghl ion directer and the kh directer just merge into one unit so u don’t have to buy 2 units for tank automation like the Neptune trident come on ghl get it together

No use for fanboy stuff. It’s always Great to have choice. The reason why the trident is hard to get is because it test’s three parameters. That was a decision Neptune made. Every vendor has a different take on testing. I remember at the MACNA in San Diego when Jim Welsh brought his alk tester to show people. Neptune didn’t think people wanted automatic testing. But the the reaction of hobbyist changed their mind.Cause GHL is soooooooo much better than Neptune!
Fanboy??? Check the marketplace and see how much Apex stuff is for sale and how much Ghl stuff is for sale.No use for fanboy stuff. It’s always Great to have choice.

I'm not sure there is enough space for both within the form factor. The KHD takes up a ton of space and uses a larger water sample than what the IOND is slated to use; 60-100ml vs ~10ml for the KHD and IOND respectively.
Your logic unfortunately is including points of potential failure. Pinch off valves and diverters can fail and being that they would likely be internal they then become unserviceable. At least not by the average person. The ion probe is always in the device just like the ph probe is in KHD. What effect would the KH reagent have on the probes. Theoretically you could make on big system to do all of it but you would need 2 water chambers still and still need 7 dosing heads. Alkalinity is the important parameter. The KHD allows you to keep track of that alone. I know apex users that use a KHD and an extra doser because they either couldn’t get a trident, gave up waiting, or just didn’t want to be forced into the trident testing schedule.I agree but I also think the form factor could have been changed to make both fit using seperate tanks for the probes. With enough tubing pinch off valves and flow directors they might have been able to use one four head dosing pump for both. I am not sure of this as it would seem like five heads would be needed but if I look at the original Ion Director it used the same line for water in/out. That would mean that one doser with enough mods in the unit might have worked. That would be a lot of size savings and cost cutting on the one unit versus two separate units.

No you don't need 7. The inlet and outlets could be combined onto two pumps using a pinch off valve to select which chamber is in use. That bring it down to 5 heads but it is possible that the inlets and outlets could be combined as in the original design and that brings it down to four heads.Theoretically you could make on big system to do all of it but you would need 2 water chambers still and still need 7 dosing heads.
