What are people using for KH automation?

craftycamper · Mar 3, 2026

Im looking to get into some kind of automated alkalinity control and general automated testing. I see there there are a LOT of options out there and im not really sure which one is the "best". I mainly want something that will automatically adjust dosing based on the test results. I see the Alkatronic Pro is on sale on BRS right now. I also saw the aquawiz which looks super interesting with no reagents. Right now it will just be controlling 2-part dosing, and in the future will control a calcium or kalk reactor, so ideally it has support for those as well.

I have the Aquawiz, and because of that, I have unplugged my Alkatronic. Been very happy with it.

I second what GCarroll said. Aquawiz dKH controller does a great job for me. No reagents and it has a built in doser. You just set your desired settings and let it rip. I manually check weekly with a hanna just to make sure everything is inline, but it does all the dosing corrections for me. Super easy... plus it alerts you when your dosing container is near empty which I haven't seen that feature in other solutions such as this.

@CollectorsCorals LLC is the US contact for them. Anand is a great guy. Feel free to message him and he can talk to you at great lengths about it.
