Anyone got pics of their's installed?
How's your flow rate compared to what you thought it was?
What are you doing with yours? Just monitoring? Controlling?

I got one installed but not running yet. Should be online in a few days once I get the P4 hooked up.

Mine isn't in operation yet, waiting on a 1 1/2" check valve to finish installing the first RD3. I will be using it to both monitor and control since the manifold feeding my reactors and chiller would will be fed by the main pumps , any change to/ from the manifold would be compensated for.

Got my 9000 flow sensor and fittings!
Will be installing tomorrow on my return line.
Mainly just want to know what my flow rate is. I currently run an Ecotech Vectra L1 so its not 0-10v compatible.

My Vectra L1 set to 80% flow is giving me only about 568 gph.
I know I have a lot of restriction though on that line with barb connectors and some 90 degree elbows.
Going to see what happens when I get rid of a couple elbows tomorrow and replace with silicone tubing. Probably not much but might help a little.

Is it me or does it seem like either people have forgotten GHL had this capability OR reefers don't care till Neptune makes a big deal out of introducing "options" that are old hat on other controllers?

Exactly about Neptune... I was like about time! LOL!
Personally, I've wanted one for years but always seem to have something else that took precedence. And it took forever for the USA fittings to be available. I have a thread on the RC ghl sponsor forum that goes back at least a year asking for that.
But we have a lot of new GHL users here so it's ALL new to them.
The GHL controller has always been ahead of Neptune it's just that this is the US and Everyone thinks Neptune.

I bought 2 flow sensors with my new P4 I was shocked at how little flow I was getting out of my 2 Jecod 8000L 1995L on one line and 1680L on the other... I now see pipework and head loss differently I knew I would get some loss but I didn't expect it to be so much... something I will defiantly think about more in future tanks.
