    Alkatronic/Carbon Doser programing question

    I have an Alkatronic. It's connected to my Apex via a pH port. Here is my current program for my peristaltic pump that feeds my Calcium reactor. I'd like to have the pump turn off if the alkalinity measured by my Alkatronic is greater than 8.6. I'd like the pump to be on if the Alkalinity is below 8.6. Do I need to add to this program?

    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If ALK > 8.60 Then OFF
    Defer 010:00 Then OFF


    I'd like my Carbon Doser to stop dosing CO2 if my peristaltic pump for my calcium reactor turns off, but I also want the program to turn on and off my Carbon Doser based on the my calcium reactor pH if the Kamoer pump is on. Does this programming work? I'm pretty sure I'm missing some code.


    Fallback OFF
    If pH_CRX > 7.00 Then ON
    If pH_CRX < 6.90 Then OFF
    Defer 000:30 Then ON
    If Kamoer_Pump OFF then OFF

    Do you think cutting the power to the Kamoer repeatedly through out a day or week will affect it's calibration? I have one too and I know it's not the most robust of options but it does work at a nice price point.

    I think that program should work the way intended, I'm interested to see what Zombie says.

    At pH 6.9-7.0 the rate the media desolves will be pretty slow so so you've got a lot of room for testing. But why not just cut the CO2 when the Alk hits 8.6 and call it a day?
