How does the doser calculate dose times? How frequent does it drop the dose? Like say I start the dose at 3pm and the doser drops 150 doses a day / 24 hour period. So it starts at 3pm Monday evening and stops at 3pm Tuesday evening? Is this correct?


60 minutes in 1 hour

60 minutes x 24 hours = 1440 minutes

1440 minutes / 150 doses = a dose every 9.6 minutes.?


So the doser drops a dose just a little less than every 10 minutes? I'm horrible at math. :confused: Math people...please post up.




If anybody knows, please let me know.

Yes, that is correct.

Yes, that is correct.


OK, thanks. How far should I stagger the doses to ensure they’re not dropping on top of each other and continue their
Calculated schedule?

As long as the "starting" times for each dosing pump is not identical, the dosing times will not overlap.

I like to keep my Ca and KH times 30 minutes apart.
