    putting together a DIY doser tonight and wanted to make sure my math is correct.

    find out how much alk is used in 24 hr
    how many hrs you want your doser to run 5hr
    how long would you like your doser to dose for /10min a hour
    / that time by the amount used in 24hour
    then adjust the drops per min to lasts the full 10min


    used alk /5hr /10min
    adjusts the drops per min

    You're missing a unit conversion; hours to minutes.

    Either: used alk/300min/10min
    or
    used alk/5hr/(1/6)hr
