    measuring evaporation with ATK

    Is it possible to measure the amount of evaporation over a given period of time with the ATK?

    Thanks
    Richard

    I put one of the flow sensors on my ATK, but because it runs for such a short time, the sensor doesn't pickup the flow very accurately at all, sometimes not even at all. I don't believe there is a way of measuring it, but I am keen to know if there is as I would like to know as well. I generally just use an ATO Res with markings on it so I get an idea as to how much it goes down in a day

    Easiest would be to fill an ato reservoir up to a marked line. Let the ATK run for a given amount of time, say 7 days. Refill the ato reservoir up to the line measuring how much water you are putting back in. Divide the gallons you put in by 7 days and that'll give you your daily evaporation.

    The Apex has no code for volumizing.
