Welcome to the forum 
To use all features you should connect both devices to USB.
The pump comes with a 3-pin cable, it can be used to connect the aquastream XT to the aquaero via aquabus so you can read out some data or adjust the frequency.

Thank you for the quick reply!
So first I connect both devices (aquastream and aquaero) with an internal usb cable to my motherboard.
But how exactly do I connect the pump with the display, which connector of the pump do I use: RPM or Aquabus?

Hi Shoggy
I have the same problem with my AC stuff.
have been though the Aquaero & Aquastream manuals about 10 times and it does not say this anywhere and it's not clear how they should be connected.
I have my Aquastream XT Ultra connected to the motherboard USB
I have My Aquaero connected to the Motherboard USB
then i have the 3 pin cable from the Aquabus connector on the XT ultra to the Aquabus connctor on the Aquaero but my flow meter still will not work.
I think something was lost when the manuals where translated into English ?. maybe
Not sure but it's not easy to follow for sure.
can we have a connection guide on these forums please ?.
Regards
Rick
By the Way Shoggy I do love my Aqua-Computer
top quality stuff and very quiet ;D

Hi Lil_Duck
yes thats how mine is connected but flow sensor refuses to work for me on my Aquastream XT Ultra
I am guessing the pump is faulty as it also will not let me set the pump frequency.
I will try to contact the Guys at AC but not yet had any of my e mails answered or any of my questions that where in my orders.

@Cobra88
Try to connect the 3pin connector from the aquabus port on your display to the rpm port on your aquastream xt. This should work! Good luck buddy
THAT IS WRONG!
Well, I do not really underestand where the problem is. Both devices have an aquabus port - could it be easier?
The port on the aquastream can be used for aquabus communication OR a flow sensor. A simultaneous use for aquabus and a flow sensor is not possible.
As default the port is configurated for aquabus communication. If you want to use a flow sensor instead, you will have to set this in the aquasuite software and save it to the pump. Afterwards a restart (off/on) is necessary.
(The pump itself has no flow sensor integrated.)

@ Shoggy
AC products are great but the supplied manual (in German!) isn't that clear at all. I'm deeply sorry for giving wrong information to a forum member. The manual says that if you want to control the pump speed, you have to use the rpm port. The descriptions in the manual are to short to my personal opinion. A little extra info/explaining doesn't hurt anybody.
The fact that dozens of people ask all different kind of questions on this forum should be considered as a sign to improve your manuals. No pun intented. See this as a way to further improve those lovely products!
Kind regards,

Hi Shoggy
I have both items connected to my Motherboard and the 3pin cable from Aquabus to Aquabus.
not tried it any other way but still have no flow readings from my Aquastream XT Ultra.
I too find the manual a little confusing but the fact that you guys even make an effort to provide English manuals is very welcome.
i am very happy with everything i have from you Guys and will recomend you highly
Regards
Rick

The aquaero can't display any flow rate which is measured by the aquastream pump.
It's also just impossible because when you use the aquabus function, a flow sensor can not be connected to the pump.

Hi Shoggy
How can i view the Aquastream flow rate & temperature ?.
I have seen screenshots of the flow & temperature but it does not look like the Aquasuite screens i have.
this is what you show but i have no screen like this.
what am i missing ?.
Sorry for missunderstanding the ultra vesrion as i thought that was so it could combine with the Aquasuite software

Hi Shoggy
My apologies about the flow sensor.
i just re read the spec and it's flow sensor conection not built in. :-[
I think my Aquaero is seeing the Aquastream XT Ultra but not the USB cable.
if i reboot with the USB cable off it's still the same.
SO i am guessing it's the cable as i tested the Motherboard headers and they all show a usb device correctly when i plus them in.
is there any connection under the yellow end cover that might not be connected ?.
Regards
Rick
edit: yes USB is not being seen
shots
I have checked the cable with a multimeter and it's ok.
can only guess there is a fault with the pcb on the back of the XT Ultra ?.

Hi Bones
Not much point as He will ignore that too.
I am disgusted that AC tech support still have not replied.
now e mailed them 3 times in a week and nothing.
Checked my spam folder too and nothing from AC in there
