Pick the product and give the real water volume of the system — display plus sump, minus rock and sand. You get the two numbers that matter: the one for the Aquarino KH field, and the one to dose by hand right now.
This is the number for the Volume to raise 1.00 dKH field, under Settings → Buffer Pump.
