The Dosing pump is a device designed for precise and automated dosing of liquids in aquariums, particularly for reef systems. It integrates with the Smart Reef system, allowing for remote operation, water purity control, and access to additional functionalities and device updates.
The primary function of the Dosing pump is to accurately dispense specified amounts of liquid into an aquarium over a set period. Users can define the daily liquid amount, the number of dosing cycles, and the start time for the first dose. The pump automatically calculates the size and frequency of individual doses based on this input.
The device also includes a "Manual refill" function, which allows for temporary adjustments to the dosing schedule. Users can increase or decrease the liquid dose once or cyclically for a specified number of days. For example, if the daily dose is 6 ml in 6 cycles (1 ml each), increasing the daily dose by 3 ml will result in 9 ml per day in 6 cycles (1.5 ml each), while decreasing it by 3 ml will result in 3 ml per day in 6 cycles (0.5 ml each). After the manual refill period, the pump reverts to its previously configured cycles.
The Dosing pump monitors the liquid level in its container and displays this information to the user, helping to track consumption and facilitate timely reordering of liquids. It provides a notification when the liquid level drops to 10% of the container's capacity.
Advanced dosing functions, accessible via the "Dosing" button, allow users to specify the number of daily doses and the amount of liquid for each. The pump then calculates and sets the dosing hours and indicates the percentage share of each dose relative to the total daily dose. Up to 24 daily doses can be scheduled for large tanks, though for standard tanks (up to 300 liters), 10 doses per day are recommended. The "Adjust" function allows for increasing the volume or percentage share of a daily dose.
