As for not being threaded you would have to ask CoralVue but I suspect they did it because it is easier to just pull off.
The reactor is passive. Basically the water just overflows into the output. The output tubing should always be lower that the water level in the reactor.. Basically you pump water into the reactor and the reactor overflows and the water runs out the output. So the tubing at any point needs to be lower than the output of the reactor.
The water level should not reach the cap or you are feeding to much water.
Thanks! Disappointing news, but I should have guessed it from the applications I've seen. Now I need to decide what to do with this thing.
If Output MAINTENANCE = ON Then OFF -- don't want to dose when there isn't circulation in AIO chamber
If Output FEEDTIME = ON Then OFF
If Output KALKMIXTIME= ON Then OFF -- off during kalk mix (5 min at 8 am & 6 pm) + 55 min settling periods
If pH < 8.25 Then ON -- if schedule dosing isn't adequate, override to supplement
OSC 000:00/000:30/015:00 Then ON -- only 30 seconds at a time with 15 min periods in between
If pH > 8.25 Then OFF -- stop when close to target and allow drift to do its thing
How many ml/min are you dosing when it is running? The fluid caught in the drain tube then rushing out is giving me anxiety that an overflow will happen eventually. I'm at 2ml/min running continuously except during mixing. Really want to increase that drain tube diameter.BTW since a few folks have pinged me re IceCap. I have since hooked mine up to a DOS and elevated it above the water level of the tank (since I don't yet have a sump). Thanks for the great advice and feedback.
For an overflow gravity-fed device, it works. I find that lower dosages tend to be "caught" in the tubes. I find that I need to keep the cap "on" but not on "firmly." It creates a vacuum and the kalkwasser just collects and comes rushing down all at once if I'm not careful. I've had to switch up programming and test a different route in addition to a more loose-fitting of the cap. This seems to do well enough (though still testing with active monitoring):
In addition to the regular schedule, I have this for supplementing since consumption does seem to vary throughout the day-to-day:
Code:If Output MAINTENANCE = ON Then OFF -- don't want to dose when there isn't circulation in AIO chamber If Output FEEDTIME = ON Then OFF If Output KALKMIXTIME= ON Then OFF -- off during kalk mix (5 min at 8 am & 6 pm) + 55 min settling periods If pH < 8.25 Then ON -- if schedule dosing isn't adequate, override to supplement OSC 000:00/000:30/015:00 Then ON -- only 30 seconds at a time with 15 min periods in between If pH > 8.25 Then OFF -- stop when close to target and allow drift to do its thing

Also experiencing the pH spike when mixing elevates the solution above the drain hole.
