I have been using an Apex and BRS dosers for about 2 years and still cant seem to get this right.
Today, i am dosing about 52.8ml of two-part Alk mix daily (two weeks ago raised it from 36.3ml/daily) and I'm not able to keep the levels stable. However, my math tells me I'm dosing correctly.
A few months ago i shut down the dosers and watch the levels drop for a week to get a sense for what was actually getting consumed. I took the daily average consumption and set my dosers based on that - it didnt work.
Then, while still dosing and readings dropping similarly to what is in the graph below, I did the same calculation to come up with what i thought i needed to add additionally and increased the dose to what I'm at today. The consumption is still higher than the dose.
What am I doing wrong? Is the math broken or am I not considering a variable?
Thanks.
