    please check kalk top-off program

    I would like to top off only at night. I put dilute kalk in the top off water. let me know if the following seems right.

    I want to top of 2x per hour, 30 seconds each time, between 11PM and noon.


    Fallback OFF


    OSC 000:00/000:30/029:30 Then ON

    If Time 012:00 to 22:59 Then OFF


    I may do something with pH after some observation, but thats all for now.

    That would do what you said you wanted, but it will not act as a top off. If you miscalculated even by a little bit, your water level will fluctuate without another method of top off or a float switch and could lead to floods or burned up pumps if you don't watch it like a hawk.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    Thanks!

    Full disclosure, the pump is plugged into dual float switches to ensure no overfill. I have measured the daily evaporation to determine how much water I want each night and added 10% and I have a backup freshwater top-off to make sure the return pump doesn't run dry. I have learned the value of redundancy the hard way.
