Gotcha.
I understand everything you said above. I've been looking into this for a while. I was trying to avoid a SWG with pH dosing features like Total Control or Aquarite Pro. Mostly because I didn't necessarily want to buy their SWG, and I didn't want both systems going dead at the same time (SWG and pH).
My pH drift will drift up as far as I can tell. I live in FL, it rains a lot, I have a water feature, and I want to do SWG. I add acid, that's kinda what I do.
I have a heater that I want to get rid of, so I can have a spot well away from any metal. I'm pretty set on the Stenner PUMP/Tank.
I don't want to get into the Total control because of the cash outlay, so it looks like the only way to go is the AQ Pro.
I looked at all the other controllers(Industrial/Instrument quality) and they are expensive, and some not made for outdoors.
The Sense/Dispense uses the CAT Probe/Manifold setup.
I've read quite a bit about this system and haven't found a lot of things to dissuade me. What are your thoughts on that system?
I also was looking to see if there was a DIY system for Sense/Dispense that someone has done, but haven't found one yet.
I think a neat idea would be a Linksys Router running Linux with a USB interface to a pH Sensor and a method to turn the pump on/off. Then I could watch it wirelessly inside the house.
