Re: Aquarium Plants.Com Problems
Did they indicate which portion of the regulator was "water damaged?" Is it a portion that is normally near water or submerged?
IIRC, their controller has a pH monitor that they read, then average then use the output to cycle on/off a Clippard Mouse valve. They had to do some work to quiet it a bit due to the clicking the mouse makes. I don't remember if the whole thing mounts on the cylinder or not. I suppose water could backflow if a checkvalve failed and got into the Mouse, etc.
I was looking at building something similar and perhaps selling it but noticed they claimed patents on the idea. I did a lengthy patent search and never found anything submitted by them. I decided not to pursue it anyway.
