Hi,
I’m sure you more experienced Profilux users could achieve this. I, however, am a completely confused noob. I hope you can help me, please!
How do I set up AWC with an automatically pre-filled reservoir?
This is an auto water change system. The system has a reservoir from which the aquarium is filled. The purpose of the reservoir is to dose dechlorinator, conditioner, ferts, etc prior to the water entering the main aquarium.
I want the AWC to not start until the reservoir is full. The reservoir fills via a mains pipe controlled by a solenoid valve. I want the reservoir to fill only once and then not refill until the next AWC is due the following week.
Here is what I have;
A solenoid (socket 2) controls mains water from my garden tap to fill the reservoir.
A solenoid (socket 1) controls the drainage of water from my aquarium.
A pump (socket 3) takes the water in the reservoir to the aquarium.
Optical sensor 1 – maximum aquarium level
Optical sensor 2 – minimum aquarium level
Optical sensor 3 – maximum reservoir level
I’m sure this is easy for you more experienced Profilux users. But the more I read the more I suspect the failed solutions I've tried are overcomplicated.
BTW, I have a Profilux 3.1N
Thanks for your help!
Andrew
