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:

AvoidWhy
Under aquarium lighting or direct sunlightAlgae grow inside the chambers and change readings over the weeks
Near a chiller or any heat sourceA sharp temperature swing during the cycle affects accuracy
Over the water line or anywhere it gets wetThis is electronic equipment; constant splashing shortens its life
A room with no ventilation at allVery still air increases the spread between measurements

4.2 Connecting the sampling hose

  1. Connect the silicone hose to the Aquarino KH, on the right-hand fitting of the Tank dosing pump.
  2. Run the other end to your sump or aquarium. The sinker supplied with the hose keeps the tip submerged.
