I was wondering if anyone has a link or knows how to make the controller bucket on the multiflow hydro system. We have the DIY page in the FAQ section on how to make everything but the controller. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Happy tokin :joint:

i ordered the same system, but there is one caveat with it: it only uses 12 volts versus the 120 in the system i linked. the 12 volt system required 2 separate timers, which i didn't want to mess with. instead, i went the other route with the 120 volt system and a single timer.

if you are comfortable with wiring, go with the system i linked. if not, then the aquahub kit is a good buy too, just depends on what you want out of it :)

good luck!

:peace:

Hey guys, Duno if anybodies interested but I've made a parts list and am now going to build this system from scratch with 240v 10a relays UK sockets and I'm going to add instructions for you guys to add a digital thermostat for adding a heating element. Should be able to put all this together for around 150 to 200 quid for just the controller. Maybe cheaper if you leave out the thermostat. The most expensive thing is the float sensors at 15 quid each !!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway I will put everything down on paper and add the blueprint :D.

^^ That's where I got mine. The plans I used only called for 4 float switches in total, but the kit I ordered came with 5. So I have an extra in case one goes bad :mrgreen:

They use the 5th switch as a safety. Haven't looked at it in a while, if I remember right, timer turns on pump, controls it by the flaot switches in the controller unit. If the top flaot switch fails to turm off the pump, the safety which is placed 1" above that, will shut the pump off before it overflows the controller unit. The schematic for it is there.
