You need to know how many mL/minute is your dosing pump‘s rate.

You input all the info and that calculator gives you the exact dosing. I use it and it works great!

Let’s just say it’s 2 ml for example, it’s this correct

Going to need to test the output. I think they say 1.1 but are closer to 2.0. Good pumps. Using 11 of them and yet to have a failure or tube rupture.

Yes, that program will spread 6mL every hour throughout 24 hours.

My 3 BRS dosing pumps each calibrated to 2.2mL/min, but you should check yours regardless.

But yes, you used that calculator correctly.

No idea. I use the BRS calculator and watered down additives. Can't be much help there sorry

Yes. It will only dose the amount you put in the first line in the calculator (it says dosing amount) per day. The rest is basically you deciding how you want it spread.

For the example you mentioned, it will dose 0.25mL every hour around the clock.
