    A smaller version of XP8 but with 4 outlet (XP4)

    Actually, Hydros Start is the perfect option. I can utilize all four sensor ports and make the RODI smarter under the Hydros umbrella instead of a standalone system using the two drive ports and a couple of solenoids.

    Just as simple dosers. No need for calibration, as the high and low sensors will control the draining pump and filling pump. I just used the automatic water change profile that is already on the Hydros app. As for the RODI pump you can set it up as ATO pump. In my case I use my to refill my...

    Brushless motors usually perform better than brushed motors. I'm personally using the brushed motor for simplicity and cheaper replacement parts. The pumps push water from my saltwater mixing station up 10 feet and then travel through the basement ceiling 75 feet, then up again another 5 feet...

    They will not work directly off a drive port. For steppers, you will need a driver and PWM controller to drive them. Ideally, you would need 24V to power a stepper motor, but they also work fine with a 12V power supply. The only benefit I can see from going with a stepper motor is that you can...

    Also, I made some other style labels with the approved Hydros logo that are dedicated for DIY. If you already downloaded and/or used the old label with the Coralvue Hydros TM logo, please delete it and replace your label with any one of these approved labels. Option 1 Adobe Acrobat Option 2...

    If somehow you purchased the brushless motor, you can still use it by connecting the red and white wires together to the positive terminal and the black wire to the negative terminal.

    Note for the pumps Make sure to purchase the brushed motor version of the Kamoer KPHM 400ml or 600ml to be able to wire it directly to the XD Drive port. As the Kamoer KPHM has three types of motor options: 1. Brushed DC motor 2. Brushless motor 3. Stepper motor

    If you're going to use the 600ml/h pumps, just keep in mind the pumps are a bit wider than the 400ml/h. As I never tested them, make sure to double-check the pump spacing. First, only drill the pump number 2, then check the distance from the center of the first pump to the second, same as the...

    I used RODI tubing. I cut about 2" of the tubing, then I heated one end with a lighter to soften the tube. Then, I slid it on the pump barb. Finally, I used a RODI union to connect the line as shown in the picture. As far as the pump label, it's 3D printed, but I can make it as a paper-printed...

    Power outage backup battery. Without Kraken or IceCap battery.

    I have a 12V 100Ah Lithium LiFePO4 battery on hand, and I would like to use it as a backup battery for power outages. I don't own a Hydros Kraken, but since I already have a Wave Engine LE, I was thinking of using a relay module to switch from 24V power to 12V battery power during a power...

    Updated on Kamoer pumps for higher-speed pumps. Kamoer KPHM 600 pumps (600 ml/min) are available on Amazon. Based on the Kamoer drawing, they should fit into my AWC pump enclosure without modifications. However, only the Kamoer KPHM 400 ml/min pump has been tested. If you decide to try the...
