No sample water Trident error

[Shirak]

Yes the clear silicon tubing is different from the opaque tubing. I recently had an issue with mine on the small bit of tubing between the metal sample needle in bottle A and the 90deg fitting. Alk measurements were all over the place. I took the cover off and watched what was happening and there were air bubbles in the line as it was adding A to the vial.. sometimes... I bought some 1.5mm ID silicon tube and replaced that small bit of tubing inside the bottle and no more air bubbles. I suspect the tubing that comes with the unit is getting old and the seal around those little barb fittings is not as good as it used to be.

This came out of my Trident yesterday for a no sample error

I recently had this error as well. Ended up being a clog in the manifold area. I used a titration syring from a salifert mag test kit to push RO water through the lines.

BTW, does anyone know if it is ok to run the Trident with the cover off? or does this interfere with the testing?

Massive props to Apex for the engineering of this thing.

The limits of my mechanical aptitude and fine motor skills are tested just connecting the USB cable.

Even I was able to disassemble this thing, fox the clog, and put it back together. I can’t believe it.
