Calibrate the pumps and sensors
Calibration is what makes doses and readings accurate. Do it once now. The Maintenance page says when to repeat it.
| What | Why | How |
|---|---|---|
| Every pump | The device doses by running a pump for a calculated time, so it must know each pump's flow. Uncalibrated pumps cannot dose at all. | Calibrating a pump |
| pH sensor | A new probe needs its first calibration, and pH probes drift over time. | pH calibration |
| EC sensor | Calibrate before you rely on EC readings or EC Control. | EC calibration |
That completes the setup. Where to go next:
- Using the app: readings, alarms and running pumps by hand.
- Automation: let Coltiva hold pH, EC and water level for you.
