    Thank you for this video!!! I’ve ran GHL products for about 15 years. I had a B@&$# of a time w this because of the firmware, device recovery and ultimately a power supply that wasn’t pushing enough current to run the pumps. This video helped provide the confidence that in that storm of issues, I knew what I was doing!!! Thank you! I owe you a frag or two!

      It does, but about half of the steps are for the doser itself. The notification settings for the containers is great as I receive a text message to fill or empty a container accordingly.
      It should be noted that their upcoming ION director using the same method for setup and measures 5 different parameters.

    I have the GHL Doser and see that the DIrector would be a useful addition. I also have a Calcium Reactor which adds alkalinity. Would you still use the KDH and add for example a cylinder full of BRS soda ash to tweak the alkalinity?

      does the kh director need the same 4 doser pump to test and another set of dosers to dose alk ?

      smiles1969able hey! You can dose kh with the pump wich is left 3+1, but you have to dose ca and mg short after kh is dosed 7-10 mins) means you need a second doser with at least 2 pumps more.

    I like the idea of this. Is it possible to have it control an additional slave doser? I use Triton and would want four liquids to be dosed equally for whatever that fourth had was doing.

    Can you explain how it would control a calcium reactor? I followed your last build and you said you would never go again without a calcium reactor.

    • @eatsleepreef9565
      @eatsleepreef9565  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It has it in the menu to have it work along side it. So it would shut on or off the solenoid to the reactor. Sadly in this setup as you can see in the video there is ZERO room for anything. Having a baby there is no way I can risk having things out of the stand.

    • @lilalinux1596

      Yes, plus the volume of the optional inline water filter, but the software already takes care of this and prompts wether it should add that filter volume or not.

      This is not a replacement from Kalk. This is a alkalinity tester than actually can work with a calcium reactor and a kalk reactor. This units job is to measure and record alkalinity. If needed it can make adjustments to alkalinity by means of doser,kalk Reactor or calcium reactor.
