The 1" Flow Sensor (FS-100) for the Fluid Metering Module (FMM) from Neptune Systems is designed to accurately measure flow rates in aquarium systems. Here are the key features and details about the sensor:
Key Features:
-
Flow Rate Compatibility: The FS-100 is suitable for measuring flow rates between 150-1500 gallons per hour (gph), making it versatile for various applications within your aquarium setup.
-
Connection Type: Designed to connect to any standard 1" Slip PVC, making installation straightforward and efficient.
-
BSPP Threads: The flow sensor utilizes British Standard Parallel Pipe (BSPP) threads, which may require specific fittings for compatibility with standard plumbing. To accommodate this, the kit includes:
-
2x BSPP x 1" Slip Unions: These specially designed PVC unions provide a reliable connection to standard 1" PVC plumbing.
Usage:
-
Ideal for Return Pumps: Typically placed inline with the flow path of return pumps, this flow sensor provides real-time flow rate readings to your Apex controller. It allows for monitoring of water flow through pipes, which can help ensure optimal performance and alert you to any issues, such as reduced flow due to blockages or pump malfunctions.
What's Included:
-
1x 1" Flow Sensor (FS-100): The main sensor for measuring flow rates.
-
2x BSPP x 1" Slip Unions: For easy installation to standard plumbing.
Conclusion:
The FS-100 Flow Sensor is a valuable addition to any aquarium system, allowing you to monitor water flow effectively and gain insights into the performance of your return pump and overall system health.
