AC III + Float Sensor
Is there anyway to attach a float sensor to an AC III? I'd like to know when my topoff resevoir is low so I know to go refill it with RODI.
Thanks! |

You need to make an adapter... If your not a DIY'er you could buy it from neptune.

Most attach the float switch to an AC3 or 3Pro with the io breakout box - http://www.neptunesys.com/probes.htm#IOBREAKOUT .

I already have an ATO. What is the advantage to getting the break out box and controlling from the AC3? Just trying to understand 'cause I haven't bought it yet.

Some advantages are:
- Remotely override top-off control. - Manually turn on/off top-off. - Log how often it turns on/off w/ AquaNotes - Can use other monitored probes to change behavior (i.e. dose Kalkwasser if pH > X, and does H2O if pH < X). Curt |
