3/4" Flow sensor

[jhov2324]

Hello, I installed the hydros flow sensor. When adding it to the inputs what flow rate model do I select?

Fm 025. Fm 050 fm 075

It gives different readings according to the model I select and FM 025 gives a flow rate that can't be right.

Can you post a picture of the flow sensor you have ?

This is the one I got

You want to select FM 075

Thank you very much....that number looks much better.... although as per UV I need to be at 214 gph..... for parasite control. I'll turn up the pump see if I get more through my manifold.

You're very welcome. Make sure to clean it at least every 3 months or so.

Apologize for reviving an old thread but if you don't clean would it show slower flow? I've been increasing my ReefRun return pump percentage for the past few months to keep up with the flow I had...or at least what was reported from the flow sensor. Just wondering if it's my return pumps or the flow sensor.

Also, I'll need to figure out how to clean it. Do I take it apart?

Thanks!

I ordered an extra flow sensor for another project, so, I decided to try a swap. Yep, seems that the flow sensor needs a cleaning. I unscrewed it and cleaned it out. I'll take that one and replace the other return.

To piggy back off this thread, how do i change LPH to GPH, I too have a brand new flow sensor 3/4 installed.

left menu under options. It is volume unit.

Depending on flow rate and strength of pump it may get gummed up with detritis and show a reduced rate. But cleaning is really more to prevent wear on the small internal sprocket. I sed very little fall off over time. Occasionally something gets sucked into the pump and flow drops down to zero as it makes it way to but not through the sprocket.
