My calcium reactor setting getting crazy

[Alain B]

Program it as this :

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If ( pH probe ) < 6.90 Then ON

- - - Updated - - -

Yes , I got that and when I hit it then this windows comes out ;



And when I select the CXR then this comes out





I have not seen any spaces for me to write those commands as you show

Change the control type window from Ph to advanced by clicking on the control type window you will see a drop down list .

[machodik]

As you can see after

Fall back

Then follow by probe name ,high value , low value ,on when ;



But where I Can I find this window for me to write input as you mentioned ;



Huh ! Sorry I am a newbie in apex and It need some more of your patience but i appreciated very much for your help , kindly guide me to reached there!

You are trying to set this with an iphone ? Maybe you could try with a pc or mac it would be easier .

I found it and this is the initial setting ;



Can I copied yours ? But our naming is not the same because I have 2 ph probe ;

Ph : for calcium reactor
Ph2 : for my tank

Furthermore in your command #5 and #6 what is this and if it necessary to write that command too?

Make this in your outlet :

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If ( Name of your probe ) < 6.90 Then ON

[machodik]

So in this case the name of my probe is Ph then I just write "Ph"

[Alain B]

Yes , use the EXACT name of your probe .

[machodik]

Ok , this is the new one;



And this is after I hit update:

Have you uploaded the programming to the controller ?

[machodik]

Thanks and I will report back after 24 hours and show graph. Hope it will be the sawtooth pattern .

Thanks my friend!

Yes I did uploaded the programming as mentioned above and here again the windows after uploading ;



Thanks again!

Look good , set the rest as i had mentionned before and let it run for 24 hours nonstop . Post the graph so i have a chance to analyze the results .

[machodik]

By the way as the commas said ;

If PH < 6.90 then on ......

So it means that the co2 Doser will ON if ph is like 6.89?

Because I observed that my PH now is 7.02 and the calcium reactor or co2 doser is OFF

If you turn the co2 doser outlet to ON manually , does the doser work ?

[machodik]

Yes

But if I set it to Auto now is off. I supposed the command should be set it as ;

If PH <6.90 then OFF

Your outlet programming look right , i was talking about other setting : like effluent flow , secondary co2 pressure and bubble count .

[machodik]

Ok Thanks . My main problem I think is the effluent rate that it has to readjust every 3 to 5 days due to clogging as the drip varies from 15 ml/ min and it reduced to abt 10 ml/min if leaving it in 5 days or so

What kind of pump are you using for effluent ?

[machodik]

Actually , I only relay on this ball valve to control the drop which is the reason why my reactor is not consistent due to clogging that I need to make adjustment to maintain the effluent rate of 15ml/ min.

I am thinking of using the cheap china made Jebao dosing pump to pull the effluent consistently of which I will use all the 4 pumps to alternately running 24/7 as I need 21.6 liters / day to maintain my KH requirement.

This is exacxtly were your problem is located . I doubt much a Jebao pump will last more then a few months and supply enough flow in the best scenario . Calcium reactor need to run 24/7 non stop . Get a brush less DC variable speed peristaltic pump and your problem will be solve .
