The choise choice depends on usyou. If we you want to create the Action to add extra liquid when Kh the kH level is bellow below the desired level, then we choose Kh is bellow

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

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

...

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

...

For the example I have choosen the Kh In this example, we have chosen the kH pump

Next, we need to choose an Action which that will be triggered when Kh the dkH level is bellow 7 (if you typed other Kh level then it will start how you set it)below 7.

...

We will choose

titlemanual dose %
from the last dosing dose - it This means that when you Kh your kH level will be bellow below the 7 Kh level (you can set it like you want to) kH level, then Dosing pump/s will add an extra dose - increased by % is based on the last dose.

...

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

The

titleEnter delay

function is the number of minutes the pump will delay. This feature is helpfull 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 specyfic enter a delay here, for instance, 2 minutes. So the second one pump will dose 2 minutes after the first one. When pumps there are more then than two, then the next pump should be also delayed. See the example below. You can set the delay like thatthis way:

Pump 1: 0

Pump 2: 2

Pump 3: 4
