    AC Jr Programming help

    Glad it worked, we have a lot of people that use the AC series and a number of us who love to toil in the interface. I have had a great time working/replacing the Internal web pages in the AC3 to make work better. There isn't a lot of extra memory in it, but enough to make minor tweaks to the...

    Maintaining Calcium and Alkalinity using two part dosing products

    To further add... I usually don't fiddle with the dosing pump settings. I will usually just make a single correction/addition manually. I only change the dosing pump, if for example at the end of the week I am constantly adding ALK or Calcium.

    Maintaining Calcium and Alkalinity using two part dosing products

    This is an area I have a lot of experience in. I have been dosing 2 part for a long time. Keeping in mind that Alkalinity is item you are going to try to keep to a solid number and the calcium will follow.

    Dry pH Probe

    Throw the calibration fluid out. Once exposed to air, it degrades quickly - usually in less than a few hours. The result will be a probe that reads artificially low.

    Phosban from Group Buy Questions

    Re: Phosban from Goup Buy Questions Phosguard (Seachem) is falling out of popularity as it is aluminimum based rather than iron based. Though it does an better job initally to tackle a PO4, it can reach total exhaustion in 3 -4 days and is not well suited for maintenance mode. It also has a...

    Phosban from Group Buy Questions

    Re: Phosban from Goup Buy Questions Seperate them. Carbon needs a higher flow and the pressure of using the same pump going from one to another causes back pressure. Either get 2 pumps, or a single pump with a Tee (or Y) and use valves on the input side of both to control the flow.
