OK, FIRST OFF thanks for all that have helped me understand the pros and cons of Kalk. I have got my Neptune dos pump in and have determined my need, which is about 4.5 oz of lime water per hour. (Thanks to randy calculators) my Kalk is a fully saturated mix that is dose form (not mixed in) a 2-gallon container (separate of my ato) so here are the questions and stats
1. I plan on starting the dosing well below 4.5oz an hour because dosing in my ato has driven my alk up to 11.3, so I have chosen 1 oz per hour or 720mls spread out over a 24hr period in an effort to lower alk a bit then when that runs out re-evaluate an adjust dosing amount once I hit my alk target 9.5-10 thoughts?
2. have I set this pump up correctly? I feel as if I have but I'm human and make mistakes
3. should I code this pump to be ph controlled by adding the following code to the pump
If 150-pH > 8.3 Then OFF
If 150-pH < 8.2 Then ON
thank you in advance for your input
