Pacific Sun Kore 5th dosing Fan Club

Thx for the stepper motor explanation, makes sense. My understanding is that dc motors can never be as precise as a stepper.. (Let's say from 2ml)

Biggest future at ghl and the new apex doser, is the linking of sensors to dosing.. Mainly PH and conductivity. This is really a plus hard to compete with

Don't get me wrong, I have two Kore 5th dosers... I did consider other brands before buying. Still think it's the best doser out there!

Thanks for the explanation and let the savings begin.

What is the maximum amount of water that can be changed via the AWC?

 

[Rudimenta]

100ml-140ml per min

Per minute or daily? With fast flow Pharmed BPT tubings reasonable daily amount is about 3 liters.
If you need more - you should use our AWC DC pump sets(additional set for Kore 5th).
They have 250l/h water flow so you can use it even for few thousands gallons aquariums ;-)

Are the AWC DC pump sets available to order from your web site?

how can you use the AWC dc pump setup for accurate usage i.e precise exchange of volume?
the ATO dc pump is a regular impeller pump?

 

[Pacific Sun RD]

DC pumps used in AWC are speed adjustable and calibration/measurment process should be done after complete instalation for AWC is done.
In calibration procedure Kore 5th measure time needed for refill 1 liter of water and when its done - you can set how much of waste water you want pump out from system.
"Fresh" saltwater will be filled up to old water level measured by level sensors before AWC started.

AWC DC sets should be available within next few days together with last software update needed by this additional set.

Anybody have issues with the plug on the thermometer? It plugs in, but then there's like a 1-2mm expulsion of the plug. I had to sand down the end so it would stay plugged in, but it still wants to come unplugged.

 

[Pacific Sun RD]

If you noticed any problem with that Please contact with your supplier directly - they will send you new one. This was reported by few users and we decided replace faulty jack to 3.5mm only.

Sorry I have a 120 gallon tank, daily is easier to figure out.

 

[CoopsReef]

Just had a malfunction. My ATO wouldn't turn off and this is the screen it showed. What would be the problem? And solution?

There is support forum:

Your doser is connected to the same power extender with DC pump/lighting.
Now simply restart it(turn on/off from power supply) and connect to another plug - or use filtered power plug(power plug extender).

Set is already released - within one week it should be available to order thru Resellers.
About your question:
It's very easy. Before you will start using AWC DC set you need calibrate for waste water DC pump. To do this you need 1000ml cup/bottle and you need follow calibration procedure(it should be done when al tubings are installed/cutted etc).
After calibration procedure doser know how much time it was needed to pump out 1 liter of "waste water".
This procedure is very accurate and after our tests we never saw difference higher than 4-5%(for DC pump it's very accurate result).
Fresh water pump will refill water until old level will be reached(previously set by optical or floating water level sensor).
Until AWC will finish his work ATO(aut top off) is disabled - to protect against not wanted freshwater(without salt) refill.
This module (together with compatible software/firmware) is actually released.
Any questions - please follow our sponsor thread on ReefCentral.

ATO DC pump is regular impeller DC pump(the same like AWC DC set pumps).
They are speed controlled by dosing station.

Update!
AWC(Automatic Water Change) DC pumps set is actually available to buy thru our Resellers/via online shop.

I think that it should be available in the USA since end of this month.
Additional great addition for Kore doser will be released within next few weeks - 5 channel magnetic stirrer(fit to actual acrylic holder so can be mounted to cabinet ceiling).

Just to clarify: with the additional DC pump AWC set, could you still use all five dosers plus perform automatic water changes at the same time?

Thanks!
