Neptune DDR diy question for AWC

[ExitTrauma]

Hey, did some searching, couldn’t find the answer.

I’m DIYing some 5 gallon buckets for an auto water change to plug into the dos. If you look at the tile in fusion it will show the two vessels, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to make the drain section FILL instead of remove on the graph.

Not sure if I’m making any sense here, but I’ll try to rephrase the question in case it’s confusing.

when you plug in the DIY cable with the optical sensors into the DOS, you will get the tile that comes up that shows both vessels. It’s basically just a fancy bar graph that default subtracts from whatever total you’ve entered into it based on how much the DOS has calculated it has removed. That works great for the fill container as it can estimate how much remains in the bucket.

It doesn’t work very well at all for the drain bucket as it seems I can only subtract from full and not ADD from empty.

Sure I can just pretend the dang thing upside down when I look at it, but it takes some mental gymnastics.

Does anyone know how to do this, or if it’s even possible?

I definitely understand what your saying, however I don’t think the DDR was designed to be used for an AWC, so I don’t think it can automatically add.

Perhaps an ATO with high water level sensor alarm may be better? It won’t show in Fusion but just a thought?

Or just knowing that if the refill side of the DDR tile is empty should mean the waste bucket is full?

Sorry I just saw this reply.

Thanks for taking the time. You are correct, I’m dumb. The bucket is draining the same amount as its filing….i don’t even need the waste bucket graph. lol thanks for setting me straight. Not sure what I was thinking.

No worries! And it’s never a dumb question. Talking it out sometimes is the best!
