Just download the manual last nite(Singapore Time).
And also the app.
Also register my set.
The manual is thick. It is going to take me sometime to digest

I will probably make a video on how to set it up when mine arrives.

In the manual Pg.10, it say enter Mac address of the included socket.
Where to get this Mac address?

If by socket you mean the port on the router, you can get it by logging into your router. It's surprising it doesn't auto detect this. Do you have static ip setup?

I don't have this unit, but any MAC addresses, both wired and wireless, should be available by logging into your router. In the US the login is 192.168.1.1, not sure about other countries.

If you never actually set up your router, it will have a default username and password for that specific brand. Most are "admin" and "password" respectively. Otherwise you can login with the credentials you set.

Is there any video on the Alkatronic setup?(Where they show us step by step)
And any link on Facebook ?(Discussion group)

Thank You
The manual is pretty conclusive. It's quite easy. Basically you need to prime all of the hoses, calibrate everything, and then start running tests.

OK. For a start I connect the power adaptor for the Alkatronic to my wall socket direct ? Or to The little wall socket adapter that come with the Alkatronic package?

Well, I’d say to read the manual. The power socket it comes with it for controlling an external device’s power depending on the alkalinity measurement. I.e. you’d plug your calcium reactor pump or solenoid into it, or your doser, etc. The Alkatronic should get plugged directly into the wall.

OK. Now I get a clear picture . Thank You markstubb

I actually use my alk level to turn the CO2 on and off on the carx :)
What kind of CaRX do you have installed Mark?

For what it's worth, I like to keep the feed pump running just to keep water moving through the carx. Controlling the solenoid has worked out pretty well fwiw

So your CaRX feed pump is running (or dosing) 24 hours and you adjust the KH-level of the effluent by the times or the amount of CO2 is being pressed in the reactor, operated by the Alkatronic output?
