Indoor CO2 and pH

Larry L · Jan 2, 2017

I thought this was a good example of the effect of indoor CO2 on pH:

Left side: Nobody home during holiday travel
Right side: My wife and I return from traveling

Yep, that is why I run a line outdoors and it goes through a BRS reactor with soda line.
Thanks for the graph.

I've seen the same. First time we went out of town for a weekend after getting my Apex, I thought my Alk was being overdosed because pH shot up, then I realized what the real cause was.

I tried last week to run an air line outside, but I can't without some major drilling and holes in the closed behind the tank. Not sure my wife would be too happy with me for that. So I'll be trying the soda lime method soon.

Guess when we were gone...

I was having winter time problems also. Chart shows before and after installing BRS scrubber!

How do you make the High and Low alarm line to show on the Fusion Graph???

Must be automatic, because I didn't do anything specific. Do you have the alarm box checked on your pH probe?

How do you get to that screen? I can't find it in Fusion.

dragon99 · Jan 3, 2017

Select the configure inputs:

Then select the pH probe

Oh, I don't have that option. Maybe I need a firmware update? Or maybe it's only in the phone version and not the web version?

Do you have the now Classic Apex or Apex 2016? That's the Apex 2016 options.

wcharon · Jan 3, 2017

Hummm. I don't have that option neither. I haven't updates the APEX so probably it is on the new firmware. What firmware are you at???

Can somebody confirm???

Maybe this way:
Click "Expand"

Click inputs:

Then select the pH probe (might be named differently on older Apex)

wcharon · Jan 3, 2017

It is definitive that I don't have the same version but it is weird because seems like an option of Fusion and the update replicates to all as equal.

If I go the expand o don't have the input option.

Mine is the Classic.

Yes, you will not have those options. That is for the new 2016 Apex. Their local interface and fusion are now one and the same. With the classic the local web interface is entirely different looking and still required to do many things like configuring input devices.
