Hi guys,
Recently I started to build my workstation. And right now I run into the next issue:
1. Firstly, I can't find any info about compatibility Aquacomputer 6 XT with Thermaltake Pacific DIY LCS PR-22 D5 pump. Can I connect this model? As far as I understand the major criteria in this case - that this D5 pump.
2. Secondly, I plan to install 2 calitemp, 2 high flow, and 2 pressure sensors (Delta 1000). Hence, I need to clarify next moment: do I need to install aquabus X4, or I can plug these sensors directly into Aquacomputer?

1. Other than Aquacomputer's PWM pumps, I'm not sure about that pump because only one company I know made the changes to their D5 pumps to Intel's PWM spec (EK G2 pump) that will allow it to work with the AQ.
I know DDC pumps that are PWM also work as I use two of them in serial (MCP35X2).
2. I'm not sure as maybe one of the AC reps can answer that but do know only 4 MPS devices can be used at a single time afaik unless changes were made that I'm not aware of.
I would hold up on any purchases if you haven't already till you find you as there have been several new products out and software.

I haven't used them, but am curious about the aquabus X4... how does one know which calitemp sensor is which in the aquasuite?
I see no port ID to correlate to the sensor plugged in.

The aquaero supports a single Calitemp sensor without further hardware, alternatively a maximum of four Calitemp sensors can be connected to a single aquaero using an "aquabus X4" (product code 53258 ...)
You can connect 1 callitemp directly to aquaero.
If you want use more, yoou need the aquabus X4.

Many thanks to all who responded!
I need to clarify one moment. I ALREADY have two Thermaltake pumps, and variant "buy new D5 pumps" not convenient.
Finally, the possible way to solve my situation may be:
Regard pumps:
1) Buy new QUADRO fan controller for PWM fans
2) Connect Thermaltake pumps to QUADRO
3) And after that, all should work correctly (?)Regard sensors:

OK, as far as i understand, the full roadmap, in this case, looks like:
1) Buy Aquabus X4
2) Connect 1 calitemp directly to aquaero
3) Connect 1 calitemp to Abuabus X4
4) Connect 2 pressure and 2 flow sensors to Aquabus X4
All right?
Quoted
Regarding the roadmap:
1) yes
2 & 3) BOTH calitemps need to be connected to the aquabus X4
4) for the 2 pressure sensors and the 2 flow sensors you will also need 2 Y-splitters or 1 splitty9 connected to the aquabus X4.

You will not be pleased with the resolution of the sensor with the reservoirs in your picture, which look to be 5 or 6 cm. The Delta 40 would probably better fit your need.

Do you mean the aquabus low port an the aquero? This port can now be used for a second mechanical flow sensor.I do not remember if the MPS low port has been reassigned or is still disabled.

But i'm not sure, that i fully understand what you mean in this part:

Sorry, if my question looks stupid (in this case I would be very grateful if give a link to an article about this question) but i'm not understood what exactly "look to be 5 or 6 cm.".
JFYI, maybe it'll be useful, a specs of this pump+reservoir:
1mm (L) x 78mm (W) x 309.7mm (H)
Material: POM + PMMA
Capacity: 300ml
Maximum Head: 15 Feet
Maximum Flow Rate: 1135 L/Hr
Maximum Pressure: 50 PSI
Connector: 4 Pin
Pump Speed: 1800, 2550, 3300, 4050, 4800 RPM

At the moment, four versions of the mps pressure sensor are available that differ in pressure range. Please select the sensor best fitting your requirements:
mps pressure Delta 40 (art. 53133): Differential pressure sensor with two ports, range 0 - 40 mbar (corresponding to a water column of approx. 0 - 40 cm)
mps pressure Delta 100 (art. 53134): Differential pressure sensor with two ports, range 0 - 100 mbar (corresponding to a water column of approx. 0 - 100 cm)
mps pressure Delta 500 (art. 53135): Differential pressure sensor with two ports, range 0 - 500 mbar (corresponding to a water column of approx. 0 - 500 cm)
mps pressure Delta 1000 (art. 53136): Differential pressure sensor with two ports, range 0 - 1000 mbar (corresponding to a water column of approx. 0 - 1000 cm)
I am working from the assumption you want to use the sensors to determine the fill level in the reservoirs.
If that assumption is incorrect, then please ignore my jabbering and accept my apologies.
Your reservoirs with an ≈30 cm water column when full, would display the best granularity/resolution with the Pressure sensor MPS pressure Delta 40.
