Ok working now just reprograming the lights. I see we lost the duration on the lights... so now I also have to figure out how its going to work to dose cause we lost the dosing pump button. But from what I got I have to set the timer and then in S1 put timer in the drop down.. I think.
Thank you very much for helping me do this..

ok now how do I get the pump to dose a diffrent amount every hour of the day to keep my perm stable?

[Matthias]

use a timer in the mode "manu. dosing" and enter the times and amounts

details can be read in the programming guide for 5.xx (see downloads)

I am using 5.04 fw. I did set up the timer1 for dosing pump 1 but it still only lets me set 8 diffrent times with diffrent amounts to dose. I thought by going to the 5.04 fw I would be able to set it to dose for a 24 hour time frame with diffrent amounts. If there is a way please do tell cause Im lost at this point and if there is a way to do pumps 1& 2 cause I need both if them to work the same way just diffrent amounts and diffrent times.

[Matthias]

Do I understand correctly - you need more than 8 different dosings per day? May I ask why? If yes, how many times per day?
Isn't it an option do dose let's say 24 times a day the same amount?

If it is necessary to dose many times per day with different amounts: This is possible. But the question for me is if it can`t be achieved in another more elegant manner.

[tynman]

Yes I would need to dose pump 1 & 2 for 24 hours (24 times) with diffrent amounts because I m trying to get 34 mls for pump 1 which is my alk and pump 2 I need to do 40 mls in 24 hours for my calcium dose. As to why is so I could keep my water peramiter the same all day long and everyday. I set it up right now with only the 8 doses per day so I will check tomorrow how my perm are. But the main reason I went with this doser is cause everyone I talk to about it said I could dose as little as 1 ml per hour.. So that's what I expect from it for that kind of money.

[Matthias]

you can combine 2 timers (then you have 16 times to switch) in this way:

program timer 1 and 2 for 16 different times
use programmable logic 1: Inputs are timer 1 and timer 2, the function is "OR"
assign socket function "prog. logic 1" instead of timer 1 or timer 2 to the channel where the doser is connected

I tried that and did 3 timer to get the 24 hours I need but then I couldn't asign S1 which is pump 1. I dont know where to go on the last step.
