    Kalk reactor programming

    How are you expecting/desiring it to run? That's always good info to provide up front in cases like this.

    That OSC statement turns off the output for 5 seconds then ON for 30 minutes.

    I suspect that is opposite of what you want. If my hunch is correct, you simply used the the wrong operator at the end, and it should be this:

    OSC 0:00/000:05/030:00 Then ON

    Sorry - I meant 5 seconds, but typed 5 minutes. Corrected my post.

    That will repeat every 30 minutes and 5 seconds. To get the total cycle time to be exactly 30 minutes, use this:

    OSC 000:00/000:05/029:55 Then ON.

    Note how the sum of the 3 duration values is now exactly 30 minutes.

    The If Time statement you posted will prevent the output from turning on from 22:00 to 10:00, which is close to what you later wrote. It's not 12 hours off.

    What do you meant by "the time is am"?

    Here is how i have my kalk reactor installed

    @Mgoesma I HAVE MY KALK reactor installed to my BRS peri pump, one line goes to the Avast kalk reactor and the other line goes into my Eshoops 5 gallon ATO storage container. OrIt turns on and off with a float switch that connected to my Apex breakout box. Ones my water starts to evaporate and before it hit my TUNZE ATO optical eye my Float will open up and turn on my kalk reactor, my PH is always between 8.1 to 8.2.. I guess there many ways you can set it up but I find this way very easy and affective. Or like mentioned above - it OSC 000:00/000:05/029:55 Then ON.

    Fallback OFF
    If Sw2 CLOSED Then OFF
    If Sw2 OPEN Then ON
    If pH > 8.25 Then OFF
