Just got my dosmatic 1% pump today and I am setting up my dripper and I want to make sure I double check a few things before I get started.
1. I am planning to do 2 GPH ~ 50 Gallon per day dripper. How much mixture of prime do I need to dilute to my RODI water in a 5 gallon bucket ?
I noticed on Neo's thread he recommend 1:80 for Prime. So I need to do 1ml of prime per 80 ml of RO/DI water ?
2. Are you guys running any 110V solenoid to prevent overflowing in the event of a power loss ? Assuming you are running a pump to drain excess water out. if so, where do you mount the solenoid ? does the Dosmatic requires priming if water stop flowing ?
So far, here's the order of what I am going to do...
Tap Water Source - Shut off valve - Pressure Regulator - 1 Micro Filter - Dosmatic - RO valve solenoid - Dripper.
Should I used a shut off valve before and after the dosmatic per dosmatic instruction ?
Any advice, tips or other input are greatly appreciated..
