Step-by-Step

All parts of the WEIPRO pH Controller
Step 1) Familiarise yourself with the parts:
A: pH Electrode / Probe.
B: Control Unit.
C: Plug for Solenoid.
D: Mains plug.
E: pH 7 Calibration Solution.


Electrode connection to pH Controller
Step 2) Connect the pH Electrode to the control unit.

Step 3) Plug the pH Controller into mains socket and switch on.


Setting the pH level on the controller
Step 4) Slide the switch to "SET" and use the screwdriver provided in the kit to adjust the target pH you wish to maintain in your aquarium.

The majority of aquatic plants and tropical fish prefer a pH of 6.8. But please check for your specific fish / plants whether they have a certain requirements. Please remember, the health of your fish is always more important than that of your plants.

Step 5) Remove the electrode from its storage bottle and place the end of the electrode in the pH 7 calibration solution. Leave for 5 minutes for the electrode reading to stabilise.

Step 8) Plug the regulator's solenoid into the controller plug.

Step 9) The controller will now display the current pH of the water where the electrode has been deployed, and will activate the output plug to maintain the target/set pH.

The controller will switch on the solenoid / CO2 when the pH climbs ~0.1 above the target pH. It will remain switched on until the pH drops ~0.1 below the target pH.

You may wish to recalibrate the controller every couple of months to ensure accurate operation.

Clean the electrode every 2-3 weeks using a soft brush. Do not use finger, cloth, alcohol or any other cleaning products.

Using a Drop Checker

If you are using a drop checker, monitor it until it turns a light green colour, which represents the optimal level of CO2 that's needed for your aquarium. Referring to the pH controller, you can note the pH of the aquarium, and then set that as the target pH. The pH controller will then maintain the level of CO2 that your aquarium needs for the drop checker to turn light green, ensuring you maintain the optimal level of CO2 in your aquarium.
