I'd like to start dosing kalkwasser using my dosing pump. I'm not dosing anything else at this time. It looks like I have the controller setup to at least come on at a desired low pH value. So the issue is not proper settings for it to actually work.
What I'm wondering is how to avoid pH overshoots while dosing. Seems to me that the placement of the probe is critical in relation to the section of the sump where the kalk gets dosed. Also seems like a small hysteresis like .1 will keep it pretty tight.
As it is now, my pH probe along with temp, cond., redox are all in the drain/skimmer section of the sump. But my concern is dosing kalk into the skimmer section. Will this tend to drive my skimmer nuts or create clogging?
Anyone have any tips on settings, probe location, etc.? I've never dosed kalk before and am not sure what to expect. Just as an FYI, my current calcium is 440 and my ALk is 8.4 dKH. Not sure about Mag. I'm trying to raise my pH from a stinking 7.9. Thanks.
