Hi guys,
We are new to the forum here. I tried talking with support on what we want to do and they suggested we hit up the experts - you guys! I'm a beginner working within Apex, however I have successfully setup a few different pieces this far including our Auto water change via DOS, we have the basics setup with temp monitoring, Ph monitoring, Calcium reactor up and running, etc. Now we have the ATK and we want to see what we can do with it!
If our thought process is off, or you know of a better way, we are all ears.
We have ATK, 2 additional 'optical sensors' (I call them eyes) and the Neptune solenoid.
This is the end picture in 2 separate programmings:
1st: Sump auto top off via DOS
We have eye 1 & 2 in the sump for high and low. We want to be able to do the following:
If switch (eye) 1 is open (water is low) run DOS for X ml
If Ph is above 8.1, use fresh (left pump on DOS)
If Ph is below 8.09, use Kalk (right pump on DOS)
2nd Piece: Top off freshwater reservoir
Eyes 3&4 will be in the fresh container. We want the water to get down to eye 3, and fill to eye 4. Is there a way to let it drop all the way to eye 3 and tell it to fill to eye 4? I don’t want this one filling constantly, only filling the gap between the eyes when needed versus running on and off all day topping off the ATO reservoir.
We also are planning on using an additional mechanical float switch within the ATO freshwater reservoir similar to the ones that are on the ATK set.
In the future, we want to add another solenoid with a 10 minute purge before the ATO is filled that can be controlled by the energy bar.
So, what do you guys think? Can you suggest the advanced programming for this and help walk me through it a bit? I really am intrigued to learn this all and hope to understand it further so I don't have to come on here for every piece needed. The Apex is recognizing the ATK, and ready to start working - your help is appreciated!
To clarify further, I'm not looking to make this advanced, if you have easier solutions, I'm all ears!
