Where and how to install
4.1 Where to install
Place the Aquarino KH on a flat, dry, easily reached surface intended for electronic equipment. You will come back to this spot for maintenance — leave room to open the lid comfortably.
Avoid these four places, because all of them degrade measurement quality:
| Avoid | Why |
|---|---|
| Under aquarium lighting or direct sunlight | Algae grow inside the chambers and change readings over the weeks |
| Near a chiller or any heat source | A sharp temperature swing during the cycle affects accuracy |
| Over the water line or anywhere it gets wet | This is electronic equipment; constant splashing shortens its life |
| A room with no ventilation at all | Very still air increases the spread between measurements |
4.2 Connecting the sampling hose
- Connect the silicone hose to the Aquarino KH, on the right-hand fitting of the Tank dosing pump.
- Run the other end to your sump or aquarium. The sinker supplied with the hose keeps the tip submerged.
