Ok my current setup isnt working for this, and after 2 days thought id see if I could get some advice
Ive setup 2 sockets on the power with the following logic :-
Water 1
and
PH increase
Water 1
and
PH Decrease
Ive set ph to 8 with hysteresis to 0.1 (tried from 0.3 to 0.1 here)
My ph operation mode is set to fixed pulse (3secs on 10 secs off)
Reason being my peri pump (sp3000) flows a bit fast for kalk, so im pulsing it gain better drip control
Now, all is fine, except when ph is = to set value....there is neither an increase or decrease signal (hence my current low hysteresis)
In 2 years of owning my tank, ive never hit over 8.2 ph so ill never trigger on a 0.3 hysteresis.... (sump less tank :( and only recently adding kalk)
I thought I could set an inverse logic on the PH increase (ie if not increase)........but, and this both suprised and dissapointed me, the inverse pulses.....I figure the ph increase in the logic is not a flat 0 or 1 for "do we increase" but rather an output from the operation mode :(
So I get stuck during the day with no top up running, and halides beaming down
Is there no way to say if ph = set val and water 1 without causing a pulse in current setup.......
There really really should be a trigger for "if ph ="
I do have another peri pump (variable) but its really really noisy, so id prefer to avoid it
Sorry for the long winded post, but im at my witts end with this
