This device is actually 2 dosers in one
unit. It will enable you to automate the daily additions of both components of
B-Ionic Calcium Buffer (BICB), utilizing the simple principle of air pressure
displacing the liquid additives into your system. To power the doser, the
purchaser will need to supply 2 lamp timers, 2 air pumps, and 2 check valves.
The air pumps must have a minimum pressure output of 4 P.S.I.. A basic
description of how this device works is given below. Please refer to the
following two diagrams.
Figure #1 - BICB from the reservoir flows down through the
#1 check valve and into the metering cup. This displaces the air in the cup out
the adjustable air vent. When the level in the cup reaches the bottom of the air
vent tube the air can no longer escape and the cup will stop filling at this
level.
Figure #2 - The lamp timer turns on the air pump, which
pressurizes the metering cup. This closes the #1 check valve and forces the BICB
up the delivery tube, through the flow control valve, and into the reef tank.
When the timer turns of the air pump, the pressure drops, the #1 check valve
opens and the metering cup refills to the same level for the next day's
dose.
