    Multiple Battery Backups, Multiple Pumps, One Wire

    technically you can run a single battery on a fill WE, and 2 WE LE is effectively the same thing as a full WE with maybe alittle more overhead because of 2 processors vs 1 but I don’t think that’s an issue. I’d have to check what my full WE power supply’s current handling is, but if you run a...

    Standalone Optic Switch System (SOSS) - Senseport

    They really don't supply any details on the implementation of this module, I would suspect you could adapt it to a sense port or even 0-10V input port but without more details I can't say for sure.

    Heater not turning back on

    If you have it set to 75-82, and power cycle your system with the outlet set to AUTO, the output will come up as default OFF and wont turn back on until temp drops below 75.

    Ah, yeah check the keying then between the adapter cable and the pump plug. Also make sure the pump model is set to varios 4. If you still have issues reach out to support@coralvue.com

    Try higher than 4%, that low may not work with that pump, try atleast 20%. Also check the connection between the pump adapter and the pump connector. That is keyed but easily mismatched since the rubber is so flexible. Double check to make sure the keyying on that connector matches both sides of...

    ATO water level sensor failing

    Yeah this sounds like a failed sensor. Water can get into these overtime and cause this to happen. I regularly check mine for water intrusion and lately have been using a small amount of aquarium silicone around the area where the cord enters the housing to try and prolong the life.

    0-10V Specs

    Yeah check out the sheet above. Also its good to note that 0-10V inputs "float" to 2.5V when undriven due to internal pull up resistors. So you can either connect these directly to the 5V pin on the GX12 connector or ground for switched connections, or drive externally.

    Automatic Water Change System

    Very nice! Might want to consider adding a leak detector or rope along the bottom to alert you in the case the pumps ever do leak.

    Kalkwasser Dosing Options

    Any reason why you wouldnt just use the "kalk reactor" output type? Since you are using the doser in continuous mode, just set its rate to something that wouldn't exceed your system's max evaporation rate for the day if it did run for 24 hours straight. Ignore the stirrer section if you dont...

    Adding XP8 as third controller to end of bus

    Yeah I would agree with Danny, you could drop down to just having the XP8 being your power giver in your collective. The meanwell supply in the XP8 is a very robust and reliable supply. But having a data only between the XP8 and the rest is a reasonable case as well.

    Expanding the Collective

    Yes, XP8s, WEs and WELEs are all "power givers" and have back current protection built in so they can all be connected to the same power bus at the same time and wont hurt each other. The only Hydros power device that doesnt have this protection is the DC wall plug that plugs into the command...

    AWC is topping off my tank with salt water

    Yeah I would also suggest reaching out to CV and letting them dig into it as well. There's always a small chance that there is a sw issue.
