Hydros Maven

 

[Jeffbear]

I'm excited for this. I've been waiting and holding off for Hydros to come out with something like this.

 

[apb03]

Very exciting. Do I need this? No, but do I want this? Yes, yes, I do.

I will be getting one on release day for sure.

 

[crabgrass]

Can it test all of them in one unit? Or is it a unit can test CA, need another for PO, etc?

 

[dlh]

Wonder what it will cost?

hydros is really upping there game, Neptune better wake up.

You will have to wait for the official product information but if you look at the image provided you can see multiple colored lines behind the front red one. Also they show the removable sample vile, nice touch, which also supports to multi support single unit.

Two things come to mind

Will ABC reagents come out with kits for this
Will Hydros be open to third party reagents

Everything else will sort itself out be it cost of unit, tests per day, reagent shelf life (and bottle), etc. They have had some time to sort through current automated systems to get some input as to what to do, and what not to do, and maybe some pain points. Obviously that isn't all they did but clearly there is enough out there as to what could be improved or what to stay away from (probes, discs).

One single Maven can test Alkalinity, Calcium, Magnesium, Nitrate, Phosphate. You will not need to purchase a machine per test.

As well, the Maven can be ran standalone, or added to a Collective with other Hydros Controls.

All in one unit.

Can it be run in a collective with my Wave Engine V1

How soon can we get them??????!!!!!

Yes of course it can be in a collective with the Maven. While the WaveEnginev1 can't be the collective headmaster, it will NEVER become obsolete. That's why all of our controls have Command Bus Ports.

Would love to hear a release date on this

I've heard they will release it before GTA 7. I just got a wave engine. I like it. The documentation really stinks though, but that's normal for this hobby. If I were to start over I'd go Hydros. You can't beat an Apex Classic with EB8 and display for $125 shipped though...

From the description it appears to be all in one. The colored tubes coming from the bottom are reagent tubes, water in, waste out and cuvette filler line.

 

[Derrick0580]

I assume it’s much larger than it appears in pictures if it’s an all in one photometer similar to hanna meters. Or is there more parts not pictured?

 

[doubleshot00]

Cant wait to see it in action other than just a picture. Like how does it work? Need more details.

 

[Derrick0580]

Would love to hear a release date on this

Edit: misunderstood my lfs manager, details are releasing tomorrow, tester later in the year.

And a google search show coralvue site pricing them at $999.99!

Do they list off reagent hookup/pricing anywhere?

 

[rockdiver]

Idk where that price and date came from I looked all over. But if it works and works correctly and is as seamless as the rest of their stuff it would have my interest
