T-Balancer is quite a good product although it hasn't had a software/firmware upgrade in almost a decade. Software is full of bugs and clunky to use but the device does the job once you can get it to work. Nowhere near as extensive in features as the aquaero and the unit overheated once I used it to control a pump. I had quite a few problems getting it to work as intended even though it had a manual in English. No forum support either. It seriously lacked polish and did not seem to be a finished product. No experience with the Koolance.

PA2 is a fantastic product and I'm a bit concerned about the number of recent gripes about the device on this and other forums. Even without an English manual, I don't think it is quite as difficult to work out what goes where and which standoff to use etc as people are grumbling about. Perhaps they had a bad batch, these things can happen to any manufacturer, but it doesn't mean all their products are rubbish or there is no attempt to improve on their existing products. I've had no problems with my PA2s and had no difficulty working out where to plug things in. In the absence of English instructions it is intuitive if you can be bothered to look around at a few pictures and diagrams. The German manuals have pictures of the device, the pin/header layout, even pictures of the PA2 mounted on the bay mount. There are also pictures on the AC website to use as a guide. C'mon, we mod cases and build computers and we can't work out a few nuts and bolts? It's really not that hard, but I do agree however, for Aquacomputer's sake they ought to release a manual in English as we all know just how fickle the online community can be...

I couldn't recommend Aquacomputer products enough for their quality, functionality and service. Can't wait for the trolls.

Agree Totally cc01....

For the amount that the PA's & the Aquaero units can do, they were never going to be a Plug & Play thing..(there's plenty of them too choose from already on the market if that's what you want). Having said that these AC Units aren't Plug & Play, I don't think It's so difficult to work things out especially on a basic level & set of settings for a PC system..

I agree also with it's shame there is no English manual for everything, But I also see it from the AC point of view... If They had made an English manual from the beginning they would have had too re-print it several times now with the various updates to software & firmware & all the extra functions they have introduced in the past couple of years.... Products are expensive enough now without adding on the cost of re-printing & updating a manual that would be changing on a regular basis... Just my two penneth worth on that matter ....

I've been putting together a BASIC set of Guides for setting up the Aquaero & some of the gear that you can attach to it or run independently e.t.c... It's still a work in process, But might help out some peoples that are finding themselves a bit stuck..... (sorry for the blatant plug )

Although I haven't gone through it in detail, it looks like a great guide. You've put a lot of work into it, keep it up.

Cheers

I've had one Power Adjust 2 standard die for no apparent reason, and a dying pump apparently take out the pwm on the Fan 4 header (not the Aquaero's fault as far as I know) but other than that I've been pretty satisfied.

The functionality of these units is just unmatched, IMO.

Have a look HERE see if it helps

That's excellent info from that thread link! I saved it, and with all else that I have learned on here, it'll be helpful tonight when installing the PA2 and both fan controllers into the case!

That's great..... Glad it helped & you liked it...

I'll be doing more of those connection guide things (if people find em useful & want them) in the near future (it's in it's very early stages at the moment, so not much posted up yet) as regards connecting up other devices like the MPS sensors & using 4 pin cables as well as 3 pin cables e.t.c

N.

As far as I know, Providing the flow meters are of the same type & have the correct connecters you can use pretty much any make of flow meter & yes providing the temp sensors are the 2 pin variants then they'll be OK as well..
