I've posted this on the GHL web/forum as well, but no response...

New to this but love my ProFilux and just purchased a dosing pump for my setup. My 1st venture will be to dose saturated Kalkwaser...

Requirements:
1) Only dose Kalkwaser if pH is below X (8.3)
2) Only dose Kalkwaser if its night time
3) Only dose 230ml amount of Kalkwaser per day max, preferably to spread that 230ml over the night time and not all at once

Ive figured my evaporation rate to be 230ml per day.

I've already got a separate pump setup (not part of dosing system) for an ATO so the plan would be that the Kalkwaser would take care of 'some' of the water replacement as long as the pH was lower than requried, if pH was within spec, then norma ATO (R/O DI) water would be used.

How do I set this up?

Also - If I setup as a 'dosing pump' and tell it 60ml/minute, 1 dose, 230ml per dose... When will that dose actually occur?

Cheers

I have given matthias the heads up you are waiting.

We have all been a bit snowed under recently, what with me moving and Matthias conferencing :(

Yes -

Matthias has posted to GHL Site a possible solution which I will test once I get back in town (couple weeks).

Cheers

The solution that Matthias posted on GHL worked beautifully and my Kalk is now dosed based on pH need and limited to quantity per day
