Auto Water Change System

I've been talking on my build thread about an auto water change system that I've been working on and feel that it's time to start a dedicated thread.

The system has a patent pending and I hope to offer it for sale after extensive testing.

Here is a pic of the alpha-test unit:


What I can say about the system right now is:

- It works by changing a small amount of water on a periodic basis (ideally daily).

- The amount removed is exactly the same as the amount replaced. It is handled by a small tank that ensures the same amount is swapped. The tank size should be 1-3% of tank volume, but can be more or less depending on user requirements. Users can use their own tank set up or order a tank with the unit.

- It has extensive fail-safes to help ensure bad things don't happen.

- It has numerous alarm conditions that can be sent through a controller for alerts via email/text.

More to come later. I just received the first prototype and have been testing it with lights instead of pumps. So far so good. I might set up a working scenario this weekend on my tank.

I will be looking for a small number of beta testers in the coming months.

 

I would love to beta test. I think this would help with one of the more timely things in the hobby.

 

coooool

 

I would be interested in beta testing.

 

Been waiting for this thread!! Congratulations on all the progress with this project you have made! I would also love to be considered for a beta tester.

 

Congrats! Following!

 

Sweet, I would buy one for sure!!

 

i would love to be a beta tester if you need one more. looks interesting

 

Wow. Impressive. Id love to have something like this on my frag system. Id be interested in beta testing as well.

 

Nice! good luck with it I am folowing along.
