Bubble Magus Dosing Unit Question

readc · 03/15/2016, 06:16 PM

Hello,

I have the pump programmed for alkalinity as follows:
Pump 1 - 100mL -12 cycles - starting 2200

Calcium:
Pump 2 - 100mL- 12 cycles - starting at 1000

Does this mean that every hour from 10pm to 10am the pump will dose 100mL? I am not sure that this is the case because I noticed that both pumps were just now dosing a certain amount at it was 2000 and 2005. Pump 1 shouldnt turn on until 2200 right? What am I missing here?

They are set to dose 100ml/12 every 2 hours starting from the times you set them at (2200 and 1000). They are dosing at the same times 5 minutes apart from each other. If you want them to alternate then set one time at an even number and the other at an odd, such as 2200 and 2100. This will have them dosing every 2 hours except one pump will dose on odd hours while the other on even hours.

So it isn't possible to have them dose as: Alkalinity during night time and Calcium during the daytime?

okay - so, i set pump 2 to 2305, pump one is 2200, so at 2200 and midnight and 0200 etc. i will dose alk and 2305, 0105, 0305, etc i will dose calcium. Correct?

No I don't believe its possible to program them to only dose alk at night and calcium during the day.

I believe you have it correct now.
