    Default KHD does NOT correct my alkalinity

    Hi,

    I have the KHD installed now for 4 days. It measure my alkalinity at 7.5. I have the nominal value set at 8.
    I am using the ADD-on setting:

    Volume change: 3
    Limit for KH Raise: 5
    Limit for KH lower: 5
    Calculated adjustment: 1

    Pump 4 is used to dose the KH solution 24 times a day.
    My KH solution strength is 33.3 ml / 100 liter to raise 1 dKh.
    Correction strength is 16.6 ml / 100 liter

    My tank contains 334 liter. So to raise my Alkalinity from 7.5 to 8 the KHD needs to dose 27.82 ml extra. The calculated adjustment is 1 ml. So after 1 day my Alkalinity should be at 8.

    Why is my Alkalinity still on 7.5. It already should be at 8 now after 4 days?

    I think your volume change is off. For a 1 dKH deviation, you need ~100ml of your supplement. You have this set to 3ml so a .5 deviation will add 1.5ml of supplement for your next dose.

    With your current setting, you will be adding roughly ~36ml for the day which is less the the nominal .5dkh you would minimally use.

    Mark, i dose 132 ml a day devided in 24 doses, that is 5.5 ml per dosing. That will keep my alkalinity almost at level. The KHD should take care of the rest.

    To raise 1 dKH I need only 57 ml of my solution. I made a mistake with the strength.
    My tank uses 2.39 dKH per day, that is where the 132 ml per day is for.

    Looks like you may be using an older software version? Control is in the KHD settings?

    Yes, there is but my control screen looks different. I am using the KHD Stand Alone kit. And I have downloaded the latest software.
