Can we use the controller to inject pH Down or pH Up?
Yes, accessing the programming menu we can change the programme and make the pump inject pH Down (acid) or pH Up (alcaline).
How many times shall we calibrate the pH probe?
It is advisable to calibrate the probes or electrodes as much as possible, if not it will be failing over time.
How long does the controller take to regulate the pH?
It depends on the volume of water inside the tank and the pH product, that can be more or less agressive. For example, for a 225 l. water tank with an initial pH of 7.2 and obtaining a final pH of 6.2, the controller will last around 25 minutes.
How often shall we change the pipes?
For suction and discharge pipes it is advisable to change them each 12 months. It is also recommended to change the peristaltic pipe each 12 months.
Why are my pH measurements inaccurate?
Possible reasons:
The pH probe is dirty or contaminated.
A wrong calibration of the pH probe.
The glass bulb from the pH probe is broken.
The pH probe cable is broken.
Possible solutions:
Clean the pH probe as the probe guarantee manual describes.
Hydrate the pH probe at the storage solution
Make sure that the calibration solution is perfect and prepared for its use (if you are not sure, replace it).
Wait more time and see if the pH measurement steadies before you calibrate.
Verify the pH probe is not damaged. If the probe or some of the components are damaged, replace them.
How can we use the Ec automatic controller?
We can use fertiliser products or a ‘booster’, or we can prepare our own mix of nutrients so the controller can inject it inside the water tank for a perfect Ec.
How many times shall we calibrate the Ec probe?
It is advisable to calibrate the probes as much as possible, if not it will be failing over time. The proper way would be calibrating each 15 days.
How often shall we change the pipes?
For suction and discharge pipes it is advisable to change them each 12 months. It is also recommended to change the peristaltic pipe each 12 months.
Why are my Ec measurements inaccurate?
Possible reasons:
The Ec probe is dirty or contaminated.
A wrong calibration of the Ec probe.

Can we use the pH&Ec Controller for all types of crops?
Yes, the pH&Ec Controller is prepared for all kinds of crop systems, either for continuous systems or drip irrigation systems.
How much volume of water are we able to use with the pH&Ec Controller?
The flow of the controllers is adjustable from 0 to 2 litres per hour. By this way, the controller is able to keep the optimal pH and Ec values for volumes up to 20,000 litres.
Can we use the pH controller to inject pH Down or pH Up?
Yes, accessing the programming menu we can change the programme and make the controller inject pH Down (acid) or pH Up (alcaline).
How many times shall we calibrate the pH&Ec probe?
It is advisable to calibrate the probes as much as possible, if not it will be failing overtime. The proper way would be calibrating each 15 days.

Can we use the Hydroponic System for all types of crops?
Yes, the Hydroponic System is prepared for all kinds of crop systems, either for continuous systems or drip irrigation systems.
How much volume of water are we able to use with the Hydroponic System?
The flow of the controllers is adjustable from 0 to 7 litres per hour. By this way, the controller is able to keep the optimal pH and Ec values for volumes up to 50,000 litres.
Can we use the pH controller to inject pH Down or pH Up?

Can we use the Hydroponic System by computer controller for any growing system?
No, the remote connection is installed in the stantard controller, but the connection is optional, so you can also programme manually on the controller.
