Hello,

Sorry for the confusion, the "Solution" tab you are on is dedicated to the dosers' users. Please press the top left option button and go to "Device RK..." to manage and view the existing tests.

You can check this video for a full tutorial on the app:
Regards,
Thank you for your quick response. I will try this as soon as I get home.

Switching between kits is as simple as selecting the brand and parameter on our intuitive mobile and web application.

The user-friendly interface allows you to schedule and run tests, view all results, and receive timely alerts when new test results are available.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to elevate your aquarium experience!

So I ordered one, set it up and the only test that works is pH. Customer support blames everything on user error, but I followed the instructions, changed out reagent, changed out needles and bottles, added the reagent daily mixing regimens and still it doesn't work. And now customer service has stopped responding. How do I get a replacement or a refund? I feel totally ripped off right now.

Just keep after them. Be warned, if you complain on the FB group the fanboys and fangirls will complain and you will get banned.

Good luck. I gave up, but other people are happy.

Finally had a video call with Reef Kinetics. Turns out, my unit shipped without the set-up instructions (how do you know what you're missing?) and the video-blog set-up I followed neglected to include adding magnets to the RO and color test chambers. Hady figured this out (since the pH test worked) and I have now re-run Nitrate and gotten a real response. Looks like problem solved!

Yes, and back to Mastertronic...
Weird, considering you're the admin of mastertronic page and probably posted this after Kayleb dragged you out on facebook, I should have known ever since I asked for thoughts about the reefbot and you slid into my dm persuading me into buying the mastertronic and shipping me test kits from european brands, I think it's time @Reef Kinetics file a suit against you for defamation, I'm gonna attach the screenshot here so everyone know what a person you are - you and your FAKE accounts.

Patrick flat blocked me after all I wanted to do was make things right! Then claims the bot was functioning properly when he shipped it, I think not.
If it was why would you block me for asking for help? Not to mention I sent a bunch of pictures showing the damage not even howers after delivery to me.

I do believe the damages most likely happened during transit, but that can't be proven. And seemed very fishy that you block me.
Reef keneticks is trying to help me. Patrick you are not.

I don't think that this is the place for partisan brand nonsense, fake accounts or other games. Take that nonsense back to FB and leave this for legitimate feedback, help and support.

#MODS can you sort this out?

Put it this way if you spend hard earned cash on this product you should get the best after sale service. If this product isn’t what they say it should be. Offering for sale on this platform we are talking about spending people’s wages on a product that might be good as they say or as rubbish as some have said
Let’s get this resolved once and for all. Good or bad . Why don’t we do a poll from people that have bought it would you buy it again. Yes or no simple question

Patrick USED to be the one in the FB group to swoop in and "white knight" any posts who would question, or give an alternate perspective, on Reef Kinetics design or software choices. He would then say you were "whining" and block you. Guess it helped him feel better to get the last word, especially when you would point out his flaws in logic and bias.

Ironic on how he jumped ship after talking up the bot and how amazing it was. Yet he is still lurking in the RK forums

Not to mention how he left a glowing review of the Reefbot V1 and Lab before as well (see post #46).

Loved it so much he moved to a new product :face-with-tears-of-joy::face-with-tears-of-joy::face-with-tears-of-joy::face-with-tears-of-joy:
