I am new to Dosing Kalkwasser. I purchased an Ecotech Versa for that task. My PH is now dropping to 7.8 at night, I'd like to try and increase PH to 8.1 at the lowest and 8.4 at the highest.
I need to dose kalk from 6 pm to 3 pm the next day = 21 hrs and I'll start with .25 gallons of saturate kalk 950 mls rounded. calculations 950/21= 45.2 mls per min?
I am aware of the ALK and Calc rising when using Kalkwasser that's why I'm starting at a 0.25 gallon and increase as needed, I'll test with my Hannah Checker to monitor them.
do my calculations look about right? I rounded it off to the 950 mls to make it easier.

950mL/21hours gives you 45mL/hr. That’s 0.75mL/min

With the versa pumps, you set how many hours and the total volume and it’ll calculate the minute rate

Need confirmation if my Versa is programmed correctly for the above dosages?

Also, I'm getting this flashing yellow led

So when you set your start/stop time and how many ML's to dose over that period, will it run continuously during that period at the pumps designated flow fate? This is my first time using this pump and I'm trying to set up to dose Kalk.

I have two other dosers, but they only dose small amounts periodically over the dosing period and aren't running constantly.
