Ok,

I have searched for hours (of course not at work....)for a program to use with my top off. I have two different dosing pumps. One is a peristaltic pump that pumps 50ml/hr and another is just an aqualifter because it only cost me $5. I want one pump to use for strict H20 and another pump for Kalk. However, I only want the Kalk to come on and the H20 to stay off when the pH isn't where it should be and H20 to come on but Kalk to stay off when the pH is high, but the switch in my sump became open.

Any recommendations?

so then your programming would be something like this
H20 ON if Ph > 8.0 or H20 0N IF PH = 8.0
H20 Off if PH < 8.5 or H20 off IF PH=8.

as for your kalk you will need to program that on a mintue basis like have it osc on/off for every so many mintues.
I hope this is what your asking for

OSC 15/10 on/off tHEN tmr kak on

so I wonder how the program would work in relation to the switch inside the sump. Could either program run under the condition if the switch inside the sump.

If SwitchA2 OPEN Then H20 ON
If Switch A2 CLOSED Then H20 OFF

... Then if pH below a certain threshold, Kalk would turn off

...If pH low, H20 would be off but Kalk would be on.

I was so sure that I had found a program last fall when I was building my system. Luckily the system is new with No livestock, so I do have SOME room for trial and error...but not much.
