Focustronic Alkatronic User Manual

Focustronic Alkatronic is a highly advanced device that automatically measures alkalinity in your aquarium system and performs actions to prevent alkalinity from going above or below your desired reference values. It acts like a safety belt, intervening when your alkalinity falls outside of the reference values you choose. The aquarist's primary technique for maintaining alkalinity, such as pH computers for Ca-reactors or dosing stations for Balling, will still act as the primary means of alkalinity control. The safety and stability provided by Alkatronic is more reliable when acting in that capacity. It is like the "lane-assist" feature of a car, when you occasionally drift out of the lane, the machine will correct it for you.

Alkatronic doses carbonate solution from a separate pump when alkalinity falls below your low reference value, and shuts off a socket (for instance for your water-feeding pump if you run Ca-reactor or your Balling-unit if you have that) when alkalinity rises above your high reference value. When Alkatronic interacts, you will be able to track these actions through an on screen graph or list, in our app. This contains information when Alkatronic had to interact, and exactly what it did. Based on that, you can then fine-tune your primary equipment.
