DC pumps

[Adam]

I'm using a Waveline DC10000II hooked up to my Apex. At feed mode it goes to the lowest setting and trickles water (I don't do this when feeding flake) otherwise I run it full speed.
I will most likely be upgrading to a Jeabo DCT 15000 by the end of the year. I just don't think I have enough flow to handle the manifold when I bring it online.

I'm hoping Neptune releases their flow meter soon. I'm thinking that if it is placed in the main return line after the split for the manifold it will respond to any changes to flow caused by the using the manifold. If it works that way it will be great. Set your desired return flow and it will keep it constant when you make adjustments to flow through the manifold.

It's a valve that opens and closes to maintain a consistent flow rate????

No, it called Fluid Monitoring Module, FMM. There's rumored to be sensors that will come in several pipe diameters.

I think this will open up a whole lot of options for us and quite a bit more control. I can see myself having 2 modules :thumbs:

On the Neptune flow meter. I was told they are aiming "4th Quarter" of 2016. But that very well mean the beginning of next year...

Ah, it's part of FMM. I wouldn't currently have a use for flow but I like the versatility of the module. I didn't realize it was that versatile.

This is all new to me so bear with my questions. Would the HQLINK T1 be the same as running an Apex? If different how? I have yet to run any controller.
