The nitrareductor filter depends on low level of O2.
It needs to be operated in -250,
From the manual of Aquamedic nitratereductor:
"If it exceeds -50 mV, the denitrification reaction may stop at the nitrite stage!
If it falls below -300 mV, all the nitrate is reduced. The bacteria then start to use sulphate. This is a very undesired process because the end product of this reaction is Hydrogensulfide.
Hydrogensulfide (H2S) is toxic and smells very strange like fouling eggs."
I have set it to work, in area of -250.
So, in one sec it is above the next sec is bellow.
I changed the hysterisis so that powerbar is not allways in a on/off status.
But, when it goes to -260mV, it opens the flow of the filter, when the flow stops (pump connected to powerbar) I see readings of -150mV.
It should stop the flow of the filter earlier, but due to hysterisis and that values changes +-5 all the times, P3 stops the flow much later than I wanted.
My goal was to open on -250 and close on -230 and I can't do that (untill you help me ).
