Doser calibration

[jasonrusso]

I have a red sea c-130 all in one. I bought a doser today so I need to calibrate it. The doser will go on the cabinet under the tank so there will be about 4 feet of head. Do I calibrate it at the top where the chemistry will be dispensed?

Do the calibration on the table with rodi.
Then when you install just bleed the air out of the lines to the tank.

Calibration deals in volume , not head pressure.

You can use a 4’ tube in the table to test this , like I did.

Right, I assumed that with such a small volume head pressure would be a non issue. Unlike a return pump

What should I use for the hose? It only came with enough for 1 line. Will airline work? I'm just dosing 2 part.

Yup. I used airline tubing.
