So the water thingie, you are somehow going to hook it up so it will automatically change out a certain percent of water? How do you do this?

You can choose 2 way to do auto water change: By time and by volume of water.
1. You can program the system change water for example 5' start from 10AM and 10PM everyday. Water go to drain (out) together with a same amount coming in from the water supply.
2. You can program to take out water up to 1 indicated volume (depend on the position of the censer). After that, clean water will be supply to max volume (depend on the 2nd censer)

All setting can be done easily with this system.

Under is the outline of the system:

1. Canister filter
2. In-flow
3. water level device
4. Water level synchronize system
5. Normaly close soleinoid & valve: On clean water inline

6. Normaly open soleinoid & ball valve:

7. Normaly close soleinoid & ball valve on outline
8. To drain pipe
9. To clean water supply

By using the NC and NO soleinoid with the timer, we can easy control and doing water change with daily or weekly schedule. All can work automatically.

In fact, the auto water change system is as follow:

And finished fitting to the stand:

His planing is made a full-automate control system for: water change, CO2, air pump, lights....
You will find them next.....

so water can pass the solenoid? I have that kind of solenoid but the manual says that it cant be installed that way. It should be horizontal. Pls enlighten.

Sure it working well... dont worry. Just make sure that you use NC at No5 and No7 valves, they can work vertical as well.

what do you mean 'give a vote below' - do you have a poll or something, or just want us to reply and say what we think?
