Volume of KHD water filter?

[lexinverts]

Hello all:

I am setting up a KH Director and it came with a water filter. It says to add the volume of the water filter to your sample volume, but it doesn't tell you what the volume of the water filter is. Does anyone here know?

Thanks!

I think it is 7mls

Yep just verified. Page 32 of the manual.

Yes, it's in the manual. :)

Yes, it's in the manual. :)

But not in the actual manual for the water filter. That is what threw me off. Thanks.

Yea, I know your pain OP, I had to dig to find that info too.

One more question! How do I get the KH D value to display in the GHL Connect dashboard? I see how to add and subtract sensors, but the KHD shows up under control.
@Ditto?
Thanks!

@lexinverts
Press brush icon in dashboard, press (+) icon, select KH Director, press add, press check icon.

Just a tip I used... dont bother measuring tubing and such to calculate the volume in your entire line...

Just prime the entire line and then reverse the direction of the doser into a measuring graduated cylinder the actually measure the volume instead of calculating it... we do this to calibrate the dosers anyways...

Great idea, however that would require that we all have graduated cylinders in ML readings :P. Also I read that some folks used a scale and weigh the fluid after doing similar. Again.. Need a scale to do that.. If you have the tools they are great methods to do the job accurately.

Thanks, I’ll try that!
Maybe that is why my accuracy is off by 1.5 dKh

How did you calibrate the dosing heads then??? Haha.

At firat, I just collected the liquids in a cup and used a combo of 5 and 1ml syringes. But then realized how cheap I was being after spending $$$$ on a nice piece of equipment. So I bought some glass graduatrd cylinders from amazon for less than $10 (:

Good idea, will use that for my next!
