I have 3 DOS's running 5 different liquids into my tank. After looking at the activity log it looks like some of the pumps are running at the same time. How do I get my pumps to stager their run times?

You could adjust the total time length or the amount dosed a little bit and that should naturally stagger them because the wizard will generate different start times but it might take a little bit of trial and error.
You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
I dose equal quantities of two-part and let the DOS divide each evenly over 24 hours. But the default setup will dispense them at the same time, which I don't want. One way to avoid this is to go to the setup wizard for one of the two dosers, click on Modify Interval, and change the Start Time to 00:05, for example. This results in a 5 minute gap between the doses being dispensed, throughout the day. This is most effective when the dose intervals are the same for the two fluids you're trying to stagger, less useful if the programmed dose intervals differ.
