Measuring the flow of your aquarium’s main return pump is an incredibly useful piece of information. The key benefit would be to have the Apex notify you the instant the flow stops for any reason — usually the result of a failed or faulty pump. Furthermore, an indication of a reduced flow rate could be used to determine that the pump or the lines are dirty or are becoming clogged with algae, debris, animals, or the growth of organisms inside your plumbing.
Usually used with aquarium accessories like RODI inputs, calcium reactor feed lines etc., this flow sensor can be placed in line with the flow on 1/4″ tubing, connected to the FMM, and communicate to your Apex the flow rate of water through that pipe. The flow sensor itself uses push-fit connectors to make connecting to your system as simple as possible. The FS-25 will work with flow rates from 3-12 gph (11-45lph)
The FS-25 comes with 1/4″ push connect tubing that will work with any standard style RO/DI tubing.
Note: FMM Module required for use.
