Please choose Kh

Status
titleKH is below

Next enter a value (when Kh kH keeper result will be below the specific level of your desired Kh dkH then the system will add an extra dose)

For this example I typed 7 (Kh)we chose 7 dkH.

...

Then select the pump for the integration (we can do the same Action several times for different pumps)

...

For this example I we have chosen the Kh kH pump

...

Next we need to choose an Action which will be triggered when Kh dkH level is bellow 7 (or any value you selected.

In this step you can see all the available Actions. So for the lower Kh dkH level we can use

Status
titlemanual dose in ml
or
Status
titlemanual dose %
from the last dose.

...

We will choose

Status
titlemanual dose %
from the last dose - This means that when your Kh level will be below the 7 Kh level, then Dosing pump/s will add extra dose - increased by % is based on the last dose.

...

For this example I we typed 30% so when Kh kH level is below 7 the system will add an extra30% liquid calculated from the last dose. So if you last dose (before measurement) was 9 ml then Dosing pump will add extra 3 ml.

The

Status
titleEnter delay
function is the number of minutes the pump will delay. This feature is helpful when you have 2 or more pumps. We don’t want to add all the liquids at one time. So when you add the next pump to the Action please type specific delay here, for instance 2 minutes. So the second pump will dose 2 minutes after the first one. When there are more than two, then the next pump should be also delayed. See below example. You can set delay in this way:

Tip

Congratulations you have just added the second Action to your integration. Now when the Kh result is above the desired level you can set the Dosing pump to skip part of next dose. For instance when Kh keeper result will be above 8 as in this example, then part of next dose from the chosen Dosing pump is skipped (1-100%).
