GHL Flow Mete in Action

[AQD_ottawa]

I think this is most probably the greatest tool in the ProfiLux's chest for savings anyones tank.

The GHL flow meter which can be programmed to turn off a failed pump and turn on a redundancy pump automatically, plus other great uses

This is why people that are serious about theyre tanks use ProfiLux because it has the tools to reliably save your tank from crashes due to mechanical failures.

The Flow Meter and the Touch are MUST HAVE for my next tank build!!

Yeah, they are both next on my list.
The Touch always seems to be next on my list... and then it gets put off. Aaaarggghhh.... but it may look pretty sweet mounted in my new cabinetry that should get installed next week.

Would it be possible to post some pictures of how you plumbed the flow meter in, I have a flow meter but do not have any idea how to plumb it in.
Thanks

Peter I think you're misunderstanding what Michael has installed. The flow Meter comes with all the other parts already attached from GHL. Here's a pic of exactly how it comes from the factory

This negates having to find fittings and adapters to connect the Flow Meter to the plumbing. You simply connect it inline in your plumbing and then set it up within the ProfiLux. There may be a few other steps but I think that should help clear up any confusion on plumbing it.

Any idea about maintenance?
Thanks!

Al, anyone in the United States needs to know that the threads on these devices are British Standard Pipe threads. Hence the "G" notation in the thread description. I had to use a metric to US standard adapter. I would like to know what type of fittings are used in the photo and where they might be obtained. They look like the same type of fittings found on unions. If there is a simple solution then by all means let us know.

it was connected to a European skimmer (Deltec)

The difficulty is that the USA is the only country that has not adopted the Metric system, so for the rest of the world its not difficult.

The size in the photo was 25mm on a 9000L/hr GHL flow sensor

Is metric DIN the same as British Standard pipe? Is so then what is the metric equivalent of G1 1/4"?
