Would you let me know when you're taking out the trash?

You don't want em. They're literally in a trash pile, with my kh gaurdian alk controller. And some other garbage. Could of sold or gave away. But I don't sell or give away garbage.

Sorry. As stubborn as they come. I can't pass something off I don't believe in.

That Apex guy
It’s not typical RO tubing. If you watch the video on how to connect the lines, you’ll see they are very skinny.

Yes, you figured out you needed those test dummies after the major fail with the latest Neptune controller upon release.

While you are correct with the last statement of being careful what you buy thus the Latin saying...Caveat emptor. You are not really being fair by stating your opinion that first buyers are test dummies and we disagree. Neptune had a similar run with their Cor pumps and a similar launch with high demand but low number of product available. Within a week or two more products started to roll out and inventory started to equalize.
First buyers are not test dummies. That is why they run their beta tests. Those test results may or may not delay the product. By the time the product reaches us usually it is pretty solid and will do as it states. I picked up a Cor 15 upon launch and it is going strong a year and half later. I have 2 Cor 15's and later picked up a Cor 20. Never once felt like a test dummy by picking up the Cor 15 at launch. You want to see a failed product launch go look at Vectra return pumps...
Also I'm not sure what you mean by saying "just a hyped up expensive throw away company". I think you mean product. The product isn't going anywhere and it is cheaper than other products and integrates seamlessly if you have an Apex ecosystem. If you already have the ecosystem in place then chances are high you have a dosing system from them which means even more control. I will say that their products are not the prettiest with regards to form factors but to say they are throw away I'm not sure you understand, or maybe acknowledge, that they are the primary controller in our hobby next to GHL.
They didn't get that way by being expensive or developing throw away items. It doesn't mean they don't have product failures or other issues. I don't think my opinion is going to change yours or yours mine though which is fine.
I truly believe this will be like childbirth. People are angry and/or disappointed about not having one right now or maybe trying to justify why they won't buy one. But once they get their hands on it and use it, they'll forget all the bitterness and disappointment and put in an order for the next batch of reagents.

The way I look at it in all products and services. The more hyped up and bigger the company the more disposable the product becomes.
I'm in the construction field. What I see is craftsmen work alone. Because if your a true craftsmen not to many can match your work. And you care so much about giving a great product you do it alone. Than theres the rest. From the owner to the guy hacking. With the just get it done I need my money mentality. They even have crews to fix all the mistakes visible to the eyes.
The answer I get most from the bug guys is if you want to go big let go. Really??
I chose to be a craftsmen and not chase the money. I'm happy!
Sorry I just don't like these poor product everyone is making a killing on now days. I'll leave you alone now.
Remember more hype usually equals more problems.

I don't think he realizes that every .02 mLs of reagent equals 10 ppm of calcium and 30 ppm of magnesium on a salifert kit.
Guys, it is getting kind of hard to follow all these threads for the serious questions what with all the hand wringing and griping. So, I created the "Official" FAQ thread just for that purpose. That said, it is quite polluted now too so I am working on that with R2R. I would like to keep one, clean thread, to take questions and give answers - then we can update our official company Trident thread with those that become "Frequent" here is the link:

The line is flushed before each test. About 7ml of FRESH tank water is used for each individual test. I will say this again. That is why it is important to not alter the length of the sample line. It is flushed before each test.
