Hello to everyone,

I would like to ask if anyone is dosing full Triton method with help of kh director? I assume I will need 2 dosers and 1 kh director. I am wondering if anyone can explain how it works for that particular method? Thanks

I was doing Aquaforest 3 part controlled by the KH Director. I set up adaptive control and had the dower adjust the dosing amount by the alkalinity vaule.

Here was an older screen shot of it adjusting the dosing when I was first making adjustments and my aklikoty was above my set point.

I use the KH Director this way for almost 2.5 years so the our any issues kept all the parameters inline. I would have continued using the KH but also been testing the ION Director which is now controlling the calcium and mag and the KH Director is just controlling the alkalinity .

I always mix my Trito 3 a+b in one container and use the double daily dosage. It means - if I am dosing 40 ml Core7:1, I dose 40 ml Core7:2 and 80 ml Core7:3a+b and use 3 pumps. If I dose according instructions I would dose 40 ml for Core7:1, 40 ml for Core7:2, 40 ml Core7:3a and 40 ml Core7:3b - 4 pumps. But I have mix 3a and 3b in for 3 years now without problems.

Sincerely Lasse

No - I have not the director at home. We run it at my job but only for monitoring. I think @Ditto have experiences with the director and automatic dosing.

You can do 2 part also, if they are suppose to be dosed equally then you can have it adjust both based on the aklikoty level. Mine was three part so calcium, mag and alkalinity were always dosed at the same level based on the current alkalinity.
