I have a Geo CR618 on my heavily stocked system. Recently it has been struggling to keep up with demand. I keep changing the effluent rate but I'm worried it might be reaching a point where the effluent doesnt have enough dwell time in the reaction chamber to fully react with the media.
The CaRX ph is set to 6.55 controlled via apex. My probe is about a year old. I know I should replace it and calibrate it. I have my dosing pump (Masterflex) set to 60ml/min.
To offset the effluent pH I have the effluent travel through a secondary chamber of media to hopefully off gas and raise the pH some.
I am also dosing 1.5g/day of Kalkwasser to supplement and raise pH.
What effluent rate it too much for the reactor? Is there a point where the effluent doesn't have enough dwell time in the chamber to react with the media, resulting in lower effluent numbers?
Am I safe to bump up the effluent to 70ml?
