Flow Sensors?

[doggydoc]

i've done the timer and bucket to get a very rough idea, if that.
But i have water coming out into the tank, into a frag tank, into a refugium and into a mangrove tank. Trying to get that accurate measurements from all that is next to impossible. It would be so much better to have a flow meter inline after my return pump.

Michael, if you can find the parts during your trip let me know!
I would love to get one of these installed, take some pics, post about it here, on my build thread, facebook, etc.

has anyone confirmed the gf parts will work?

some one has to have one hooked up is my guess. if they wouldn't mind letting us know where they acquired their fittings and if possible a part number. thanks

Hi

these are standard Whitworth threads with these sizes:

Flow-Sensor 2000 l/h: G1/2
Flow-Sensor 5000 l/h: G1
Flow-Sensor 9000 l/h: G1 1/4

anyway, I am trying to get the matching parts for the flow-sensors, I think we can offer them soon as accessory

 

[doggydoc]

Perfect!

These are available in Europe and could be included with the flow sensor as a pack, resolves all issues in one hit :wavehand:

in post 7 of this thread there is a link to a georg fisher parts list for some union adapters would you mind confirming if those would work?

 

[Matthias Gross]

very likely, but the technical data there are not detailled enough to be 100% sure

ya I have a 500 but may also need a 9000 for my uv sterilizer but after buying the 5000 and dropping 100 on adapting unions that didn't work ill hold off on anything until I get a forsure that stuff will work.

I can special order the gf unions but the cost is 50 per so that another 100 wasted if they don't fit.

as said, I am in touch with a fitting manufacturer and try to get them ASAP

any updates?

 

[Matthias Gross]

still working on that

the samples they sent me do not match

I hope to have more luck with other samples they wanted to ship

This would be a fantastic way to kick off the new USA warehouse opening!
I would want a plug and play kit for my 1.5" return pipe.

Would much rather have it be GHL than having to source one of these in the states...
