Ready for the testing phase. It just needs to be hooked up to the water lines.

I ran the tests today. I have a 5 gallon bucket of 9.5 ish pH tap, added 110ml of pH down which lowered the pH down to 1.3ish. I set my pump to 1% and the end result (collected at the end of my sprinkler line, 2 gallons) was 6.8ish. Success!

How much do you think this setup set you back?

The pump was $120, maybe $20-30 in PVC, I added the flow meter for $25, I had the two timers already (Rachio, love them!) and I had the two filters, maybe $30 in wood so maybe around $200 ish?

Hello Tiibee! I just purchased a dosatron, and am considering setting it up in a similar manner to the photo you posted here. I also would like to have rachio timers going to more than one zone. I am curious about whether the diluted acid was strong enough to damage your timers. The dosatron I bought has viton seals and is advertised as being strong enough for the acid, but I’m curious how the hose timers hold up.
