Trident controlled dosing.. explaination.

[Reefin' Alaska]

Can someone please explain to me like I'm 7 years old, when you use Trident Controlled Dosing, what the % means? I have it dosing 40ml per day of soda ash, and then it has % value that you can set.

Does it indicate that it can increase or decrease the dose by 30% or 50% (whatever you set that to) according to what levels are tested at?

Yes you are correct. The percentage is how much controlled dosing can increase or decrease your set dosage by.

Are you asking about the control value? This is the value that the Trident has influence over the set dosing volume. It is important because if it is reached the Trident stops its influence / control and it returns to the normal dosing value. So a safety precaution if you will.

Documentation is here but maybe you already have gone through that.

Just to be clear this is the screen that I assume you’re asking about where you set how much the “base” dosage can be adjusted by. So in my case my dosage can change anywhere from 65% to 135% of how much I set it to dose during this time period.

Sorry I’m not sure why my image didn’t show up on my last post and it won’t let me edit the post to fix it.
