Evening. My doser has gone through one full cycle. I checked the alk at 7am it was 7.62
Here are the results for tonight
Alk 7.0
Ca 420
Mg 1470 i checked it 3 times

 

[Anirban]

Ok 100 ml for next 24 hour cycle and try to spread it through out the day.

 

[Anirban]

Also, add 60 ml of Alk now.

 

[ken77]

Cycle runs from 9:30 pm to 7:10 pm. Is that ok?

 

[Anirban]

Yup, no problem. Actually your Mg is not coming out so we will wait till tomorrow then possibly we need to do something else. Do you have Ca solution?

 

[ken77]

I have half a bottle of ca plus and the af Ca for mixing components. I just reprogramed my doser should i turn it off or still let it run and dose the 100mls

 

[Anirban]

Sorry, I was busy washing socks...continue dosing. We will see tomorrow.

 

[ken77]

Np thanks for your help.

 

[ken77]

You need to stop the dosing. The Mg is not going down so we will do it hard way. Dose 100 ml of Alk now and measure in the morning. If needed dose another 50 ml. Mix 50 gm Ca in 1000 ml then add 200 ml of that in the morning.

 

[ken77]

Ok I will. why do you think my mg is so messed up?

 

[ken77]

I turned doser off and dosed the alk

 

[Anirban]

It was moving slowly and when you dose components then its going up. We need to bring it down then start again the dosing. Till then we will do it hard way.

 

[ken77]

How far apart should i dose alk and ca? They are 20 min apart when i use the doser.

 

[Anirban]

If you are awake then after 2o min you can dose 100 ml of the Ca and then rest 100ml tomorrow morning once you check Alk.

 

[ken77]

I will just dose the Ca in morning. If it is ok that way. I am up well past normal time. I will let you know how it goes tomorrow night. Thanks

 

[Anirban]

If the Alk is below 7.5 in the morning before dosing Ca then add 50 ml Alk 15-20 min after dosing Ca.

So how do you feel about the hanna checker for alk vs salifert test
