    Auto water change & Manual Water Change

    Can you have a manual water change and a auto water change with the same DoS?

    To an extent. You can use profiles to override the schedule for on demand larger changes. The maximum rate of change is about 1.25 gallons per hour though, so in a larger tank it can take a long time to perform a reasonably sized on demand change.

    Did you ever figure out how to do Both a Manual water change and keep the Auto Water change programmed. I tried setting up a manual water change by using one of the feed buttons "D". I hit the feed button on my cell phone app and I see a timer start but nothing happens?

    As Zombie said, you first need to setup a Profile using the Dose type. Then, you can reference that profile in the DOS outlet with (in your case) 'If FeedD Then PROFILE' where PROFILE is the name of Dose profile you just setup.
