PH/Temp, safeties like floor water sensors, ATO shutoff at certain ph... simple things
But therein lies my point and frustration.
The Apex EL is $499 comes with temp , ph probe . Leak detection with the FMM module and sensors sold separately of coarse . I used to have the DA Elite and when I switched over to Apex and haven't looked back .
Plus I'd want a fairly universal wireless protocol included. I don't want to buy an wireless module. $250.00...plug and play, have an app to set my setpoints and view historical data, email or text notifications and local alarm. No power needed at all. Put the money into the wireless and the email/text functionality and the app/browser.
Yeah...I found out when I went to order one.
It was a tad pricey but it included all 4 probes I think (temp, ph, Orp and Salinity?!?). Agree...I don't in principle like the same device being the controller as well as the protection, the notification and the alarm. That's too much reliance on one thing. Plus $800?!? I can get by more than adequately with other single function controllers (other's will surely disagree). I have thought about the seneye but it's $500 with web connection, and $200 seems a tad high to have my pc near my tank to get messages. Might be worth having on vacation though. Also less than thrilled about ongoing pack purchases, but it does have ammonia which (along with ORP) IMO is what I really want in a monitoring device. Earliest indicators of BAD and then tell me.
