CHAPTER 10

Full calibration

A full calibration empties every chamber of the Aquarino KH, draws a fresh sample and anchors the equipment to an alkalinity value that you measure with your chemical test.

Run a full calibration in these situations:

  • at the first installation of the equipment;
  • after cleaning the chambers internally;
  • if the internal level has dropped because of repeated power cuts;
  • if readings are inconsistent and you have already ruled out the causes in Chapter 13.

10.1 Before you start

10.2 Step by step

  1. In the app, open Configuration and tap Reservoirs.
  2. Tap Empty. Repeat until all internal reservoirs are completely empty and no more water comes out of the hose connected to your tank.
  3. Check visually that the compartments are empty before going on.
  4. Tap Fill. The equipment draws the water and calibrates the dosing pumps automatically. This takes about 10 minutes.
  5. Using your chemical test, measure the KH of the aquarium water. Follow the kit manufacturer's instructions to the letter.
  6. Go back to Configuration and open Reference Alkalinity.
  7. Enter the measured value and tap Apply. The Aquarino KH starts the calibration automatically.
