Deluxe presentation here. Coincidently, I also have a B error. Going to pop the case off now and charge ahead ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! 😘👍🏼
You’re welcome. I hope you’re able to get your issues fixed. There is a lot more to tearing down the Trident, but wanted to keep this video basic. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Turns out, a thorough cleaning as you taught, was all it took. 10 Q-tips later, ha. No more B error/fault. Thank you, 1 more time. ⌚🌴❤️
Took me too long to realize that those 4 rubber feet UNSCREWED ! Duh !
@@mybeachshack you’re quiet welcome. Glad it was helpful. 👍
That bead in the test chamber is a stir bar. It's held by a magnet on the stirrer and spins during a test. If you lose that the trident is garbage.
The colorometer just measures colour, just lile a titration test you do by hand and watch for the colour change from pink to blue, the trident does the same thing. The colorometer can see the change better then your eye can.
I just ran into the problem where all of my reagents were saying "bad reading".... "out of range", etc. Reading 0's across the board. I followed this video yesterday, cleaned the vial, made sure tubes were tight (they were), and carefully re ran the reagents into the unit, AND IT WORKED! Vial was gross (less than a year old), and after putting it back together, everything came back to what I've been seeing for many many months. Great video, and very easy to follow / do.
Excellent! Glad you were able to get your Trident running well again.
Thanks for the video. Very informative! Gonna keep this for if I have any issues with mine. 😊
You’re welcome, glad it was able to help you out. There is so much more I would like to teach about this unit, but I wanted to keep this video simple for basic cleaning. And thank you for watching.
Just bought a used trident cheap because it was giving a calcium no read. Hoping I get it back up and running myself after watching this video. Thanks for the tutorial. Also you never mentioned if this solved your issue
You’re most welcome. And yes it fixed the error. Reagent was unable to travel from reagent B bottle to test. Fixing the line solved the Error, and cleaning the unit helped settle the irregular test readings.
Great video - I would add you should consider using RODI water inside cuvette with q-tip. Comes off faster and lest likely to scratch plastic cuvette.
thanks for the video i have to do it my trident got crazy
You’re welcome
Super helpful
Glad it was a help. Just don’t be fearful of the unit. After understanding the components, it’s no problem cleaning and maintaining! 👍
Mine's been a paper weight for the last year. I really need to pull it apart and get it back to working order
Go for it! 👍 The Trident actually is a great piece of equipment when maintained and calibrated.
Shouldnt purified water with O TDS be fine? We use it to clean our hanna checkers and any other testing kit.
Great Question!!! Yes. RO/DI with 0 TDS should be totally fine. At the time of the release of this video, it was recommended to not use anything. After further experimentation and maintenance on my personal Tridents I have in the reef room, it’s totally safe to use. Try to still avoid scratches on the curvette.
@@queenannesreef9271 thanks for the reply man. Just actually finished cleaning it right now. Hope all works. Fingers crossed. I wish they had a diagram online about the solenoids with which reagent goes to which number solenoid. Just to make sure they are all connected correctly. They could’ve color coordinated everything too.
@@shoxite so I’ve actually made my own diagrams and have figured out all of the Trident at this point. I’ve had several people locally have me fix their Trident. The most common issue tends to be a B fail or some type of B failure. And this is typically cause by corrosion or water damage in the bottom solenoid. The unit is actually quite interesting to watch function after your strip it down to bare bones and then run sequence testing with it. Although it won’t give proper readings when it’s stripped down. I’m glad you had success in cleaning your Trident. Thank you for watching the channel.
@@queenannesreef9271 no thank you for sharing your experience! Helps a lot!
I am not sure if this colorimetry looks like photometry photometry is based in light absorbed and measured with ldr like how hanna testers works
Thank you such an awesome video appreciate you ❤happy reefing 🪸🪸🪸🐠🐠🐠🐠
