I received my DOS a couple days ago but im less that thrilled that its a pain to dose my 2 part with a decent time gap between them. My BRS dosers were dosing every 4 hours, 2 hours apart. And the dos wants to dose every 15 minutes.

So im not a complete Apex noob but not confident enough to set this up without asking first. My objective is to dose a total of 16.8ml of each in a 24 hour period, dosing more between midnight and 11am and less between noon and 11pm. Id like like the CA and Alk to dose every hour with a half hour gap between the two.

And before its suggested Ive read very clearly that your not supposed to use and OSC command with the DOS for some reason, or else this would be an easy task.

Let me know if this will work

The 4 profiles ive set up using Fusion:

CA_DAY
Dose Rate: 7ml/min
Per dose amount: .6ml
Dose Intervals: 3600 seconds
Dose Count: 12

CA_Night
Dose Rate: 7ml/min
Per dose amount: .8ml
Dose Intervals: 3600 seconds
Dose Count 12

Alk_Day
Dose Rate: 7ml/min
Per dose amount: .6ml
Dose Intervals: 3600 seconds
Dose Count: 12

Alk_Night
Dose Rate: 7ml/min
Per dose amount: .8ml
Dose Intervals: 3600 seconds
Dose Count 12

CA Doser (pump 1) Programming
Set OFF
If Time 00:00 to 11:00 Then CA_Night
If Time 12:00 to 23:00 Then CA_Day
If pH > 8.42 Then OFF
If Outlet ReturnPump = OFF Then OFF

Alk Doser (Pump 2) Programming
Set OFF
If Time 00:30 to 11:30 Then Alk_Night
If Time 12:30 to 23:30 Then Alk_Day
If pH > 8.42 Then OFF
If Outlet ReturnPump = OFF Then OFF
 
I didn't create any profiles. I just set an interval for each solution for the time frame and how much to dose during that time frame. Apex will divide it up into several small intervals. In my example it doses 1.1 ml every 16 min.
