    I recently picked up an AquaController II. It came with a X-10 interface and abut 10 modules. I have no clue when it comes time to set this up.
    I have the manual but it reads like a computer manual and all I know about computers is to punch buttons until it no longer works than call GeekSquad.
    No really the manual is pretty vague and confusing so if anyone has experience with this any help is appreciated.

    LOL Mike, you should always read first then but not the other way around. I wish I could help. I am sure you will find someone to give you help. Congrats on the controller.

    LOL true that! I've had it awhile now. Just dug it out to see exactly what I can do with it. It wasn't a bad piece of equipment in it's day apparently. I about fell out of my seat when I priced probes but the ORP and pH both are capped and there's fluid in the tube so I'm guessing they are o.k. Not that ORP matters because I won't be purchasing an ozone injector anytime.

    Anyone else ever set up the interface and modules?

    It's very simple after you get the menu down. I used it for a few months but then the modules started going out. It's off the tank now, in a box. If you can afford one I'd suggest just buying an Apex or Apexlite.
