New toy

[Collinrb]

I should have the reactor drilled and tapped for the new ph probe port Sunday.

You've prob already gotten this far, but here's the piece you need to seal the probe into the cap

1/2 JG port.

And here's a link to a DIY inline holder in case you can't find a spot on the cap

Get that sucker going already!

Thanks for the link Collin. I like that idea. I'll take a look at the hardware over the weekend. I already have the probe holder but I'll see if I can find the John guess fitting for it to screw into.

Collin, do you have the program text for a ph probe in a CA RX for APEX?

Here's mine:
Fallback OFF
If phx7 > 7.0 then OFF
If phx7 < 6.8 then ON

That's the solenoid

Fallback OFF
If pH > 7.9 then OFF
If pH < 7.7 then ON

That's my effluent pump

Fallback ON

For my reactor circ pump


Set your solenoid ph to see the new ph probe (prob not phx7 for you) to the ph you reactor media recommends

You can also add a
Defer 01:00 Then ON
Defer 01:00 Then OFF
If you hear your solenoid clicking a whole bunch

You can also ditch the effluent setting and just drip constantly if you'd like to as well

Word! That's exactly what I was looking for. I am going to drip constantly. I'll put a ball valve on the end of my effluent line and control the flow going in the tank.
