Plumbing the Neptune DOS

[bpapo]

I have a question regarding the Neptune DOS and don't see this discussed. I want to use the DOS for 2 part . Where is the best place to plumb into the sump and how do you mount it ?

You can really drop the 2 part solutions anywhere in the sump, it doesn't matter. What I found that worked best:

• high flow area is best
• keep them away from each other by a few inches
• make sure the hose is not underwater, as the mixture will solidify inside the tube and clog it

Howdy. I didn't do much with that, just hung them on top of my skimmer, so they were dripping into the middle of the sump. but any magnetic probe holder would do the trick. You can also go a much cheaper route with any adhesive cable clips, just make sure to stick them towards the top of the sump so they are not submerged when you do maintenance and turn off the return pump.

I was also interested in this but I want to do an Auto water change, was wondering where to pu;; from the tank or the sump will put back in the sump

I used Neptune and two little fishes magnetic probe holders to secure my dosing lines. Love the dos. Not having to crawl inside to adjust is wonderful.

Here is a pic.

I had to move my alk and NOPOX lines away from the pH probe to avoid local spikes. Works fine now.

I drip anything into the pump chamber. And program so calc and alk are not dosing at same time
