When you use the timer function, it pump to the max. which is the 60 ml per minutes.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=12345422#post12345422 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by Chrisrush
Thanks Kidney.
Is your rate for your dosing pumps 60 mL/min?
That is why my schedule as a resting period between the pump .Mine is less than that and I believe that Matthias has said to give the pumps some time between dosings.
Not sure I understand your question because the previous does exactly the with the timer, but just factor that it pumps 60 ml per minutes.Is there a way to schedule a dosing pump to turn on for a specified time and dose a specified amount, because I would like to have it come on for 20 min but only dose 1000 mL. Make sense?

12:00 AM - 12:16 AM = 1000 ml
12:32 AM - 12:48 AM = 1000 ml
There is 16 minutes between you have to let it rest the equivalent of the pumpin you have done. Therefor is has pump from 12:00 AM ti'll 12:16 AM and will start in 16 minutes @ 12:32 AM - 12:48 AM for another. So the resting is in the schedule.

NO mather what, don't make your pump run more than 15 minutes. just increase the amount of session of 15 minutes, just do an extra 16 minutes of pumping.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=12348732#post12348732 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by Chrisrush
The problem that I have with that is that the pumps do not pump 60 mL/min. Mine pump at 40 and 46 mL/min due to the length of tubing that I have.
I guess I will try and figure out the times that it takes each pump to pump ~ 1000 mL and set up a time from there.
Thanks for your help.

I am pretty sure it can be done, I just don't have the hardware to test my theories on this.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=12349533#post12349533 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by boboxx
Too bad we can’t just set a pump to pull out some water and then use the float/optical switch to stop the filling of the new water.
This way we could just use 2 maxi jet, use time to pull out the water and rely on the level for the fill, plus this way you would be sure that the ATO would not kick in if not enough water was put back for whatever reason.
hmm or would this? it's pretty much like setting up the ATO, I will have to give this a try. This would free up my pumps for dossing
