Hello guys,
today i was busy - postman brought some stuff to integrate.
As told above, the three automated pumps arrived.
The water in and outlets look very delicate and may be very soon clogged. I will have to watch that. Everything else looks OK, no metal, solid devices and a lot of parts to adjust waterflow.
Chinese quality, but what do we expect. We all rant about chinese stuff, but no one here builds locally what we need.
So here is what it looks like now
ant the res container now has the pumps attached
each one marked to identify them for manual handling.
Now i have to narrow the best schedule and feed times/cycles once they are working automated. The pumps are said to pump 30l/h, so to deliver 1l it should be around 2 mins - for starters i set it to 2:30min...but that's just an initial setting and will be adjusted to reality.
You see water on the floor, but that's just because all fell over while installing. everything is sealed and OK.
The right button on each device is for manual on/off switching, all the other stuff is done via app.
The setup was easy, but the automation is not too intuitive. I have an interval on a group schedule, but no starting time. But setting up the single devices , you can set proper times. But thats just software.
The devices itself look OK, except the very narrow water in- and outlets. I guess I have to watch out for some pipe cleaning amendments to my res..what do you recommend guys?
Once all runs and i trust that stuff, i will move over for a bigger reservoir container and will head to even more days off.
In May i will visit London for a couple of days, that will be the first live test.
Cheers! and still happy 420!
