So trying to setup my X10 as a dosing unti and my the instructions I found at the coralvue site done seem to line up with the app.
I spent a hour trying to get it primed before I realized that the pump was broke Ill have to reach out to hydros on that. That was a little frustrating brand new and busted.
Anywyas switched to a diffrent pump and got it primed and think I have it figured it out but basically it will only dos in one shot ? or you can do the math yourself and do your dos in several doses throught out the day is that right ? Im coming from a neptune setup where you put in 350 and in does little dos all day for you. So just trying to figure this one out.
Is there any videos on this anywhere ?
Only ones I could find were the coralvue guys talking about how cool it was and telling you nothing about programing it LOL
Thanks in advance.

You have to build a schedule and then apply the X10 to the schedule. It’s a nightmare. The x10 dosing heads are trash. The programming I also a mess. Nothing intuitive about it. It’s a shame because they try and talk bad about Apex programming and Hydros programming is a disaster. You need 2-3 different pages to do one simple task. Apex is one screen and a few lines of basic coding.

See my attached schedule. It’s for a single dose but you can break it into a bunch. Mine starts and ends in 1 minute because I only want it to dose once. But you could start it at 0001 and then end at 2359 and make it do 10 doses if you want. IMG_0661.png
