Hey all


I'm curious who else runs this kind of method and how you're controlling everything.

My plan for my system is too run the calcium Rx to about 80-90% of the systems needs and let trident controlled dosing use 2 part and mag supplements to fine-tune each element individually from there

Programming wise for the Trident controlled dosing the standard deviation is very conservative which I can understand if you're dealing with larger amounts of 2 part if it's your sole source of supplements. But when its smaller amounts and not the main source of supplements, a low deviation won't have much if any effect I feel like. So I'm considering having the programming allow for a much larger amount of trident controlled change.

Thoughts? I'm curious to hear from others that may be running a similar method.
 
Similar ... but opposite. I run 2 part (plus magnesium, so I guess 3 part) to a consistent dosage and then let my CaRx dial in the levels. My CaRx is more than big enough to handle all demand, I just like having 2 part capability so that I have It to fall back on in the event of a problem.
 
How are you managing varying the Carx output? did you find an advantage to run it the way you are? I too like the redundancy of the set up. In my head using the additives to fine tune allows for individual fine tuning and more time between refills.
