AWC on DOS not working

[Timrpn]

Hello,

I have just set up my DOS for Manual Waterchange, i have calibrated my DOS and that went ok, I went through the tasks function for manual water change and enter all the info it wanted, set it to Feed D cycle. Then it says, if you would like to do this water change now, hit Feed, so I did; and nothing happens. So I went to my dashboard and hit feed D myself and still nothing happens. My DOS is set to ON for the power, and. DOS_ADD and DOS_REMOVE are set to Auto and it says TBL above the “on”

Please help.

When you press the prime buttons, do the heads spin?

And make sure the tubes are placed correctelly.

Yes, maybe i am a bit confused.

I setup both AWC and Manual waterchange in the Tasks. Am I not able to do that?

I wanted to do a bigger water change today, and then start on a daily smaller water change. So I setup both in tasks.

I click on Feed D and nothing happens.

But about 2 mins ago it started working for about 2 mins, took out 239 mls out and added 239 mins and stopped. I assume it is working off the Daily water change schedule that i did in tasks. I am starting to get confused.

All I want to do is:
1 8 gallon Change today
Then 2 gallons everyday.

Oh it works, heads are spinning. And now it is going again, but not the cycle i want it to i think.

Will you screenshot your Dos settings? For both heads.
Mine look like this:

 

[Timrpn]

I will, but it doesn’t look right to me, it is showing the 8gallon change manual and not the 2 gallon change I want to do daily.

You cannot have it do both. You have to re program the DOS for the 2 gallon daily water changes.

So I can’t have a “large water change” Feed cycle Always on Standby? I have to have 1 or the other?

This is showing an 8 gallon change every day.
Go to the gear icon and change the 30283.3 to 3785.41

Pretty sure no.
You wont need the large water change if you are doing 2 gallons a day.
Worst case senario, you can just go into the programming and change the values if you need to do a large volume.

 

[Timrpn]

Thanks! Will do that

Yep, you cannot have both AWC and the manual ability at the same time. Re-do your AWC profile and get rid of the manual addition virtual outlets.

Ok will do that. So really if I want to do a larger change. Just edit the values in the add and remove and then change it back when done

i asked neptune and as others have said, you cant have both AWC and a manual feed mode change setup. i use the AWC and if i want to do a large one time event i just change the AWC schedule for a day to a larger number then change back
