Gas pipe germ sensor not working


Recommended Posts

Sine it's related - I'm actually having problems with the pipe sensor constantly reading 28,000 germs in a room with 2Kg chlorine (freely moving) and even a gas pump circulating chlorine round the round in radiant gas pipes. Water in storage tank shows as having no germs, as does all sections of pipe containing the sieved water.

Trying to de-germ P.water after sieving via liquid storage tank.

P Water Source IN > Sieve > Liquid Storage (within chlorine room) > Pipe Germ Sensor > Liquid Pipe Shutoff (still in the chlorine room) > Pipe to Clean water tank OUT.

best to kill the germs first before sieving so you don't have to deal with germs on the P dirt

here's a screenshot of what I use,

Automation is simple, top germ sensor opens the door disabling the reservoir when it detects germs.  The BUFFER gate is set to 135s to keep the door open while germs die

Bottom germ sensor controls the shutoff sending any surviving germs back to the tank (optional)

Hi Neotuck, i've been trying to reproduce your setup all evening without success.

Problem comes from the top Germ sensor :

Send green signal above 1 Germ => The Gem sensor doesnt reset the gem count when empty and so stays on green => the door never closes back.

How do you deal with this issue ?

 

Also i dont understand how you put your buffer gate on top of the reservoir automation port. Is this setup from an older version or am i doing something wrong ?

Sometimes the germ sensor gets stuck sending a green signal even when no packets of PW are present.  Needs a clean source of PW to reset the sensor back to red.  That's why I have showers in the loop to provide germ free PW

Pic is from an older version, you have it right
