The Auto Aqua AWC : A Discussion

[Juka087]

Hey guys

Recently I have come back to the hobby, and without a doubt. My favorite new piece of tech is the auto aqua awc. I have a nuvo 10, and it makes maintenance effortless. Today I did my weekly 15% water change. However I did it in 5 minutes, and right before work. I am so happy with this piece of kit that I just feel the need to talk about it. I have my freshwater,waste, and saltwater reservoirs below the tank. It may be two hundred dollars, however I feel it is totally worth it. Anyone else have one?

once I move to the new house I really would like to set up AWC for 2 large tanks. I was debating between 2xDOS ouch and cords or something else.

do you know if the auto aqua AWC can pump form the basement? guessing not eh?

So is your system manual or automatic having a 10-gallon tank is only one point five gallon water change for the week I take it that was done at once or was it done slowly throughout the week

Not it can't with the included pumps but you can connect an outlet control to it to connect ANY pump you so choose..

They cover most of it's features in this video...

They make a adapter that allows you to use any pump with the unit. So yes you could do large tanks. If i ever have a big tank this will definetly be on it.

I do one 1.5 gallon water change per week. I use the manual mode as opposed to the automatic. If it was in a sump i could do auto. Being a all in one though. You must turn off the return pump, and heater. I do that with my phone. I have everything hooked to a kasa smart strip.

So you have a pair of 10 gallon tanks below one with new water one with old water

There are 2 5.5 gallon tanks. The middle is the waste water bin. From left to right it is. Rodi then waste then fresh salt water.

 

[Vinman]

Okay I see it now so how do you transport the Wastewater do you pump it leave it there or pick the whole tank up and move it

This is one gadget I really want to try.

Me too not in my current tank but on my future 180 build

It's 209.00 I'd LOVE it on our new build.

The middle tank is different in that it hold 2.5 gallon, and has a handle. I just pick it up and toss it. If i want to do a larger change. I can just put the hose from the waste into a 5 gallon bucket etc.

Awesome looks like that's really going to fit your needs well and really help with maintenance

For the price you really can not beat it.

It really does. The ato section of it is dead on as well.

How is the calibration pretty accurate?

Exact. It turns on for just a few moments. It keeps things stable. Exactly. It is the micro ato after all. Highly rated for years now.

Seems like a nice tool but I’m not sure I get the point on a ten gallon tank. For that I would think it would be just as easy to fill a couple gallon jugs with tank water and replace with new salt water.
