Troubleshooting RO and tap water mixing calculations, water hardness calculator, and GH/KH parameter settings

Inaccurate calculations when mixing RO and tap water

Problem: Final parameters don't match calculated ones

Solution:

  • Check that tap water parameters are up to date
  • Ensure quality of RO water (TDS < 10)
  • Account for seasonal changes in tap water composition
  • Check test with calibration solution

"Testing water" option shows incorrect results

Reason: Current or target parameters entered incorrectly

Solution:

  • Ensure accuracy of current GH/KH measurements
  • Check that target values are realistic
  • Use calibrated tests for initial measurements

Calculation doesn't work for non-standard water preparation schemes

Problem: System cannot process complex water source combinations

Solution:

  • Use "Other" mode for complex schemes
  • Break the task into simpler stages
  • Calculate each mixture component step by step
