I assume that you're talking about the alkalinity solution. My fix for the solution hardening at the end of the tube was to mount the ATO tube on top of the alkalinity one and slightly back. Whenever the ATO kicks in it rinses the end of the Alk one.

What if you top off is on a float valve

You can use a more dilute solution of sodium carbonate.

I've been dosing for over 2 years and have never had build up. I'm guessing your ratio of sodium carbonate to water is to high?

That falls into what Albert was saying as well. I use 2 cups of sodium per gal of fresh water, as per Randy Holmes recipe, so not sure if it is too strong .....It does makes sense to dilute it down and dose more often. I will try that. Thanks guys... Last edited by reefwithareefer; 02-23-2016 at 01:56 AM. |

Don't change your soda mix ...
I bake 2.25 cups/594grams of baking soda, then mix in 3785ml RO I've had the ends of my dosing tubes plug up before. Solved it by; Run 3/16" ridgid tube before the outlet and place a 1/2" or longer piece of airline tubing on the end. When it plugs up, massage the airline tubing to break up the crud, or replace the 1/2" tip. Last edited by gregzz4; 02-23-2016 at 06:18 AM. |

Can't edit
I bake 594 grams (approx 2.25 cups) of baking soda to make my own Sodium Carbonate. I don't count the cups but rather measure by grams. I'm sure others have their own recipes ... Last edited by gregzz4; 02-23-2016 at 06:36 AM. |
