Currently setting up a IM 170gal + 75gal sump. Did all the plumbing and filled it with rodi yesterday. I had the return pump run the last 24 hours or so, to mix salt and heat the water.
Just as I was about to leave the house for an errant, the return hose slipped off the pump and the pump was gushing water out the sump everywhere. 5 minutes later and I wouldn’t have heard that. 220+ gallons would have emptied onto the floors.
So, I didn’t think I would need a controller right away - I guess I was wrong.
What I would like to happen is: wet floor -> shut down everything and text me. My wallet is already on fire - but I need to make sure this won’t happen again (besides securing the hose properly).
I am looking at a basic hydros with a leak detector. Or maybe I need to suck it up and buy a Profilux. That was my plan for down the road once I recovered financially from buying into the ecotech/vortech ecosystem.
