Is it best to just use aquacomputer's flow meter, and must I have an aquero in order to have a optimal setup? Is there any way to set up a 2nd pump for a redundant backup in case of failure? I have fan controllers and just need pump control for use with the aquacomputer hardware. I have a poweradjust 2 USB standard, and need to get a aquacomputer flow meter and cable (I guess) or could I connect another brand and have it work correctly? If anyone has suggestions for setting up my pump control safely and securely I'd appreciate it! Hardware, software, and sequencing optimally!! Thanks, oldcompgeek

I don't own a power adjust, but as far as I'm aware they are really just extensions of the Aquaero 5. I doubt a flow meter would work without the aquaero, there is nothing to do the processing.

A power adjust by itself, combined with the Aquasuite software might give you manual control of the pump but that is all.

Sorry, yes, I only have one connected at this point, and a second pump and PA2 which is mopunted but not connected yet as I need to figure out where and how to put the 2nd ddc mcp350... Depending on whether or not it,s for redundancy or will be running consistently in the loop. I had it connected to the loop for backup, but didn't like where it was so just disconnected it until I had learned what I needed to in order to decide... So what you're saying is that I'll need 3 PA2's to do it, or 2 PA2's and an aquero 5? The basic aquero 5 isn't but $20 bucks more so I reckon just will get that... The problem that I have with using flow as the trigger is that what if a leak occurs...?? Wouldn't the unit just pump more and more liquid out thinking that it was a flow issue? I know there are leak detectors and whatnot but wouldn't using rpm's be a better alternative or even temp sensors? At least it wouldn't be just flow.

Thanks for responding, Namron, and I just wanted to let y'all know that I do have a couple of fan controllers already. They're not near the quality or software controlled like the PA2, but they're FANS lol not space shuttles... Anyway, I have a Zalman 6 ch which has 4 dial fan slots, and 2 toggle switches that have low/high and off. I figured to use that one for fans on 1 thru 4 and using 5 and 6 for lighting. That should work as my Elysium comes pre-installed with fan pcb splitters on the mobo tray which will be used for the rads. My black Ice triple 120's fans on 1 of them, then a 3-pin patch cable to fan controller. and the other pcb for my Swiftech dual 1400mm quiet power's 2 140mm fans with a patch cable going to #2 on the zalman. Slot 3 will be the hdd cage's 120mm spectre, and #4 will be for for the 140mm exhaust case fan and the -behind the mobo tray- 120mm spectre. Since they're both exhaust, it will work fine w/o exceeding the amp limit on the controller. I also have a Sunbeamtech multi-function unit that my kids got me, which has 2 multi speed fan controllers on it as well. I could use 1 of those for the 200mm spectre fan that's going to be mounted for cooling the vid card mem and pcb's for the time being, as well as getting some air across the mobo and memory. The second is still undecided but that's a good thing as ya never know when one will be needed right? If y'all want to see a rookie's build log it's listed here on Overclock.net::::
