3.4 Set up outlet dosing tube
Insert the remaining dosing tube with
connector into the RIGHT peristaltic pump
tube. This is the ‘outlet dosing tube’.
Cut the outlet dosing tube so that the tube
sits above the maximum solution level of
the reservoir/tank. The pH stock solution
must drip into the nutrient reservoir/tank.
Note: If the outlet dosing tube is immersed in
reservoir/tank solution, it could create a
syphon. This would cause the pH stock solution
to overflow.
3.5 Pump override (Priming)
‘Pump Ovride’ allows you to fill the inlet and outlet tubes with dosing solution
before first use (removing any air in the tubes), and to manually dose the tank if
required.
NOTE: If priming the pump, temporarily move the outlet dosing tube so it runs into
the pH stock solution container (if not already fixed in place). This will avoid adding
solution to your tank/reservoir unintentionally.
1. Press ‘
’ to manually operate the
pump.
2. Release the button to stop the pump
when you see the stock solution
begins to drip from the outlet dosing
tube.
If you are changing from pH Up to pH Down, or vice
versa, you MUST flush the dosing tube with water FIRST to avoid a chemical
