    ATI Essentials - Does anyone have any programming insight

    I am ready to get started with this system via a pair of DOS systems. I was wondering if anyone was doing the same and if they had any tips, or insight as to best practices when dosing a 3 part system.

    Best way is to just run the wizard over 24 hours for the amount you need of each. If you use Sodium Carbonate (soda ash), you also want to add a line in the advanced tab to turn off for high pH (about 0.2 to 0.4 above typical daily max). This is not necessary if you use Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda).

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

    Would you suggest I alternate the times in some way to break things up? Mike part 1 on the hour, part 2 on the :20 and part 3 on the :40?

    Nope. Too much extra work and if they arent exactly the same amount, they will be naturally staggered by the wizard anyway. If for some reason they do overlap, the doses will be so tiny (likely less than 5 drops) you won't get much if any precipitation.
