Hi,

First let me say that I wish you all well, and that you are safe and healthy with your families.

I was wondering if is it possible to put the KHD reagent into a dosing container? I have drilled a hole in the cap of the reagent and put dosing tube through it but the problem is that the tube curls up in the end and the Reagent liquid is blue (and the bottle is opaque) so I can't see if the tip of the tube reaches all the way to the bottom, whether it is curled up, etc.

Thinking about pouring the reagent into a dosing container so I am certain that the dosing tube reaches all the way to the bottom of the container. This is critical for me because if the line starts drawing air instead of reagent I may get a wrong reading and given I am using controlled dosing (Add on) it could wreck havoc in my All dosing.

Many thanks and kind regards

Yes you can put it in a different container.

However if you set up the dosing pump with the proper container size and an alarm at say 20-30% you would be fine. (this is what I have done)

I have mine in a glass dosing container. Has been working like a charm!

I love these (I am a subscriber to BRS TV since 2012) but unfortunately where I live it is not possible to find the acrylic rods required. So I need to buy a brand container unfortunately.
