So I have brs dosing pumps for my alc and calc (position 1 and 4 mechanical relay outlasts). I have high nitrates and bottomed our PO4 (somehow) so I’m starting to dose vinegar.

I thought I had a good grasp of the multi timer as I have made small adjustments to the alc and calc run times with the results I was looking for.

As an example, I have my alc set to dose 4 times daily for 7 min, 40 seconds. Program is as follows:

Smtwtfs
Start time 6:00 pm
Run time 00.07.40
Stop time 05:52:20
Repeat 3 times.

The net effect is that I get 7 min 40 seconds of alc dosing at 6pm, midnight, 6am, and noon.

I am trying to get my vinegar to run for 3 min at noon, 2pm, 4pm, and 6 pm. So I made the following program

Smtwtf
Start: 12:00 pm
Run: 00:03:00
Stop: 01:57:00
Repeat 3 times

I just set a timer to ensure that it ran as programmed at the 6pm mark, and I got nothing. Vinegar doser is plugged into a mechanical relay.

what the heck am I doing wrong!?
