OSC Commands

Say I wanted to dose 20ml of alkalinity and calcium a day and I wanted to dose alkalinity from midnight to noon and calcium from 1pm to 11:00pm would this be a correct osc statement. Just trying to understand this thanks!!!

Alk
Fallback off
osc 000:00/001:31/058:29 Then on
If Time 12:00 to 23:59 Then Off

Cal
Fallback Off
osc 000:00/001:49/058:11 Then On
If Time 23:00 to 12:59 Then Off

Without knowing the flow rate of your dosing pumps it would be impossible to tell.

The logic is sound as far as when they will turn on and off.

The one thing I don't quite understand is IF you have alike pumps maybe, maybe not then why did your OSC on time change?

They are brs 1.1 mil per min pumps and I just wanted to dose alk at night and cal during the day so I'm guessing that is why the time is different

Use the osc dosing spreadsheet. Just put in some numbers and it gives you the program.

The old spreadsheet has been officially retired. It has been replaced with a web page which is much better; and no Excel required
