Major New Product Announcement Hydor Koralia Controller

[AQD_ottawa]

This is the BIG one so many have been waiting for!!!!!!!!!!

Click here for picture!

In about 4 weeks the new product "PumpControl1" will be available for controlling pumps such as the Hydor Koralia 1-4 and Nano's! This is a major leap forward that puts GHL again at the top of the tree for cutting edge advances.

This is a 2-channel pump controller for 12V-pumps. The shipment includes a cable set for connecting 2 pumps Koralia Nano or Koralia 1 ... 4 directly.
This pump controller will be conected to the ProfiLux and occupies 2 1-10V-Schnittstellen.
Now it is possible to control the well priced high quality pumps from Koralia with the manifold current programmes of the ProfiLux!
Using 2 PumpControl1 you are able to control 4 pumps independently - great effects like surge, random waves (and everything else ProfiLux is able to do) can be produced easily.

Prices to follow, we expect first shipment by the end of September, watch this space for more news!!!!

GHL ProfiLux aquatic controllers now are able to control 2 out of the 3 leading controllable pumps on the market today!!

GHL PROFILUX - WHY BUY ANYTHING ELSE?!!

Just what I have been waiting for.

Any idea on pricing yet?

 

[AQD_ottawa]

As above prices to follow (next week I think)

 

[AQD_ottawa]

Well next week has come a week early

The price will be "approx" $269.00USD, this is also about $70 cheaper than the MAP price of the Hydor Koralia 12v controller also

[AQD_ottawa]

VSL-5 should do it (about 15 feet) Plus what comes with it.

I am interested in this product but had a question. Why do the Koralias require this controller box and not just a cable direct to the Profilux like the Tunzes do?

 

[AQD_ottawa]

Hi

Because Hydor work on a 12 volt system that required amplifying, they also use a different dimming protocol that the GHL pump control 1 emulates.

Is there a 4 port coming?

Is there a 4 port coming?

They offer a 2 port ($239) and a 4 port ($349 Marine Depot). Here I would need to purchase two of the GHL's to control both sets of pumps.

Or maybe... Can we use a splitter to control all 4 just with 2 port function? It might be cheaper to pay for the Tunze pumps...

Hi

As the first post states

"Using 2 PumpControl1 you are able to control 4 pumps independently - great effects like surge, random waves (and everything else ProfiLux is able to do) can be produced easily"

You only need one controller not two

So cheaper still than the Hydor and with far more functions

 

[tnoblett]

Understood...

Understood...

I was referring to 2 Koralia Controllers and 1 Profilux Controller to get the full function of 4 pumps...

Just thought a splitter might help me on the overall cost...

Thanks!

 

[AQD_ottawa]

Hiya

Think I am getting lost in confusion here

You can not use the Koralia manufactured controller to interface with the GHL

The Pump control 1 will provide control for 4 koralia's so there is no saving to be had as the functionality is already there. And there is nothing to be split

The unit comes with splitters already

Sorry if i am a bit confused and hope that has helped

 

[tnoblett]

Thanks...

Thanks...

Now it does... 1 unit controls all 4 of the pumps...

 

[AQD_ottawa]

Yep But in pairs unless i am mistaken but have just emailed GHL for clarity.

Update to follow

 

[AQD_ottawa]

OK - Correction, I should of read my own first post :hmm6:

From GHL this morning

for 2 pumps you need one controller

4 pumps -> 2 controller

all 4 channels can be controlled indep. if they are controlled by 4 different L-ports

Can you split the port so they work in pairs?

no, they draw to much power then (more than 2 Ampere per channel)

Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Well I was interested in this, but the cost of the pump control and the fact that you cant split one controller to run 2 sets of 2 pumps has me looking at either Tunzes or waiting for the Profilux interface.

Still a nice product though.

 

[AQD_ottawa]

I think it more appeals to those that already have the pumps and were going to buy the Hydor controller

The GHL controlled version is cheaper and has far more functionality.

It comes down to personal choice of course.
