If you have the dosing pump internal memory set to a certain minute and duration and you upload an altered code, Does it save that duration or do you need to reset this any time you upload a new code?

I don't normally go crazy trying to chase my pH. I calibrated the probe I have once when i first got the RA and basically only watch it for fluctuation and am happy so long as it is not swinging and not so much concerned if i am at 8.0 or 8.5. The ramping from 8.2 to 11.6 and then plummet back to 8....

Thank you for your help. It has started climbing again. I guess it may be time for a new one.

are they all compatible with the RA? I don't know if the connection is standard or anything about the probes outside installing and calibrating it.

Is the one on the website better than the original? Is it the same as the original? Is there a different one?

a year next month. lol

So this is what my pH has reported the last day or so. Any suggestions on what is happening?

that makes sense. Thanks for the info.

i thought some of the other variables did but i didn't know if this would cause there to definitely be a cloud per day or not.

Thanks, Lee

Can this be 0?

Didn't realize it was able to be set up through the wizard. I feel like an idiot.

So with using internal memory,
I would just have to adjust how i wanted them to run from the portal, right?

Anyone able to help me out here?

Yes.

I am hoping someone can help me get a code for running 2 dosing pumps. I am wanting to run them several times a day for short equal periods. I don't have the actual specifics at this time but for an example I could manipulate with the times i will want to use could we have port 7 come on for 3 minut...

thank you

I am thinking of buying a couple of the RA dosing pumps but can't find any information about them. I am trying to find out how they hook up, how the code would need to be written, if there are any other modules i would need to run them, what the minimum and maximum flow is? Are there any reviews, or...

The water level sensor is on the list, just can't afford it yet.

The standard ato uses two float switches. You could use one but you lose redundancy I am pretty open to how it should be set up. I only have one good float switch so i will have to buy new ones anyway. So if i need the 2 float ato and then a low one for the water change I am open to it but if I/O e...

No rush. I figure I would have to start with two float switches, one being the ATO float switch. Whatever other info you need just let me know.

I appreciate that.

I think i am missing something with that link.

Yep. Perfect way to go about it. If you use the ato float, you can use the ato function to refill the saltwater too. So i could use the existing ATO float for for the refill and put another float under the water line for the low end and then just have 2 pumps? If that is correct, what would the cod...

Would it be possible to do automatic water changes by having one pump turn on draining X amount of water until a float swith or water level sensor hits then turn on another pump of new water until it rises back up to the normal level or to the ATO switch? I thought if it did this once a day at a cer...

So this is what it did before Reef.png And after calibrating it today it began to rise again and then just dropped to what may be the correct pH value. I tried to get a picture of the most recent chart but my computer is one step above a paperweight and can't manage to download the image. So it seem...

So i recalibrated again today and it was 545 for 7 and 767 for 10. However, after calibration the probe was reading 8.69 and now climbing again at 9.18 right now.

Does 746 sound like a correct # for the 7.0 solution on the calibration?

I have two litermeter pumps and have it pump water in/out 150 times a day. What you need to is see how much each water pumps per unit of time. Then you can calculate how long each pump needs to run and how many times a day you need it to turn on in order to change the desired amount of water. I hav...

That is what i thought when i was calibrating but i put it in the solution and it sat at 545 for about a minute and then jumped a couple times and then sat at 600

I don't remember exactly but they were something like 545 and 600. I can recalibrate and record those numbers if you need the actual numbers. The pH is 14.00 currently i think it has stopped. Just to make sure I am calibrating correctly, does the calibration process take about 5-10 minutes? The numb...
