    Mine waits until I am sleeping. ;D

    My doser dumped 1/2 gallon of BRS Alk overnight a little over a month ago.

    Oh yes!!! That is why I got my Apex controller.

    I hate the call then she says (Theres a grinding noise or Water is on the floor. ;) )

    I always use the history function to figure out what noise could be happening.

    This is my fear! :eek:
    Sorry to hear that.


    Wow. You might have just sold me on that down the road. Nice work. :)

    Funny how that works. Lisa is pretty good too now.


    UPDATE:

    May have been just my MP10 falling off of velcro onto the air-pump which is near the doser. Anything on the air-pump causes major vibrations.

    Of course I won't really know until tonight. :)

    Mine waits until I go on vacation. Never a single problem while I'm available, but as soon as I leave town.......

    Murphey's law.
    This is why we practice redundancy... But even the best of us can't avoid THE LAW! Haha

    Hope all is well Matt

    I know Murphy's law is anything that can happen will happen. They part I am looking at is where it only happens when you are not there. Might be one of the corollaries.
