titleHow it works?

The kH Keeper KH keeper measures water from the aquarium. If kH drops too quickly between measurements the device will repeat the test and if the result is confirmed will send a notification to the user. An aquarist can set a value in the measurement difference. The tested water can be returned to the aquarium or go to the waste container, depending on user preferences. Everything is controlled by the Smart Reef reef application and can be connected with our other devices.

titleReagent pump is very noisey compared to other pumps

It’s very important to keep close measure over the reagent doses and because we want to you to achive achieve precise results when you are using your kH Keeper we’ve choose KH keeper we’ve chosen a special motor for our reagent pump. It’s a step motor which is much more precise than a regular one. However, they tend to make more noise than regular pumps.
It’s perfectly normal for them to work louder than other pumps. Pump The pump should work more and more quietly as the time goes.
