Also what are you using for filter on the SW IN line?

Jonty · Aug 23, 2017

I do not filter the SW in line except for the supplied check valve which has a screen in it.

What size quick connect bulkhead are you all using on your containers? Are you mating different size tubing up to one another? If so what type of adapters are you utilizing?

I just drilled a hole in the cap of my reagent container and pushed the supplied hose into the bottom of the container.

This is what I'm looking to accomplish.

Yeah I just drilled a hole in a brs jug and put the hose through. I have a Neptune DDR sitting around that one day I'll use for reagent and sodium bicarbonate solution. I have like 30 other projects I need to do first

It may be that that is my ultimate solution but Seaside Aquatics appears to sell a replacement rod for their doser that just may do the trick for me.

I see that the monitor has been released w/ A.I.M. Where can the AIM be purchased separately?

Can I double up on my bicarbonate and reagent solutions?

agent462 · Aug 28, 2017

As long as the mixture ratio is the same. I mix a gallon of bicarbonate at a time.

Hi All!
I Have a KHG that I am trying to setup up with an apple AirPort Express. The Express keeps crashing and needs constant reboots. Has anyone managed to connect an express to a KHG?
thx for your help

ivar · Sep 1, 2017

I am really struggling connecting to my KHG. I also don't have a computer w an ethernet connection anymore so connecting straight to computer won't work. Anyone have any ideas?

deaclauderdale · Sep 1, 2017

I have zero experience with airport express unfortunately.

Like to test 2 maybe 3 times tops but I cannot adjust the Check interval number beyond 240. Has anyone else encountered an issues like this?

The range is from 30-240. I'm not sure why they didn't allow more.

Hopefully they'll push the range higher with a future update.

No sure if it's already been mentioned. Does anyone know if there would be a problem with me keeping my reagent 5 feet way from the unit?

agent462 · Sep 3, 2017

Dr bridge might give you a better/different response but I don't see why it would be an issue. Priming that would take forever and any air bubbles for whatever reason in the future would take forever and a lot of reagent to clear.

No problem at all but please use one way valve so it can keep reagent motor get reagent easily.
Also must to make sure
1. Two end tubes are not loose in connector area.
2. Do Not use the extension tube inside OD over 2.5 mm
