The manufacturer recommends that you check the flow rate after installation. Just find out how much coolant gets pumped in a minute x 5-10 runs and divide by the runs you made to get a good average. Then you adjust the IPL setting in the Aquaero or Aquasuite to match what you did in your test runs.

The IPL are strictly an electrical data to interface to the real world. If you want to know how many revolutions of the paddle equals a pulse you would have to ask the manufacturer. It sounds to me like you have set the Aquaero or Aquasuite to read in Liters per Minute, correct? If so then you are running 8 Liters per Minute.

Why do you think the flow is a bit low? And more importantly is your computer acting in a detrimental manner?

EDIT: Where are you entering in the IPL to? To The Aquastream XL page or the external Flowmeter page? Are you just using the Aquasuite or do you have an Aquaero? Just so we are on the same page here you need to know that the AC support staff will not answer your questions as they relate to a product that they don't sell or support. I am not part of the AC support staff.

I am using a similar flow sensor: http://www.uptom.cn/data/digmesa/fhku/938-3870AE032_GB.pdf the FHKUC 70 Hose,

After swapping out the 180 degree AC flow sensor and setting the aquaero to 165 impulses/litre I get the exact same reading as the AC sensor on the aquaero. I did not set it up to the pump and do not know what the "Number of measuring impulses of 8" means in the XT but I would set the calibration value in impulses/litre to 165 and see if you get ~ 120 l/h or 2 l/m with the XT at ~ 80Hz. That is what I was getting with my loop and I know it is a bit restrictive but the temps are ok.

jsut a question are you the top nurse that was banned from xtrem system forum because they didn't like you to say that metal mix can be achieved if you use anti corrosive additive ????

Same same

Ran aluminum, copper, brass, nickel plated brass, and silver in the same loop for many years without a single problem by using AC Fluid.

I was looking at the Aquasuite layout for the Aquastream and those numbers are strictly for the Aquastream. You need to be using the Pulse per Liter numbers in the "Flow sensors" page.

The Aquastream XT values page is onty for the Aquastream! You need toi put those values back to stock. Then enter in your new Pulses per Liter from Digimesa into the Aquasuite "flow Sensors" page. Then all will be good to read your flow off the "sensors page."

Tell me if I am wrong, but AFAIK the Aquatream XT does NOT have a separate flow meter correct? Isn't the Aquastream XT just extrapolating what it figures is the flow based on its design and the speed the impeller is turning?

The new XT cannot read flow rate but has a connector that can be used for either aquabus or flow sensor but not both.

If you use it for flow sensor than in aquasuite you set the flow sensor impulse/litre accordingly and "Number of Measuring Impulses" which is defaulted to 8.

Not sure what the number of measuring impulses controls and it is not in any literature that I have found.

That really seems odd to me as the Aquasuite has a tab for flow meters (presumably attached to Aquaero's or Multi-Switch's) and a separate one for flow meters that are attached via the Aquastream pump?

I can see I better shut up about these new fangled pumps till I get one here and hook it up.

The choices we have now for 90° elbows are much less restrictive than what was available in the past.

You might consider using something like this at the pump discharge: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/big14shsidur.html in future builds.

yes thanks that's cool, not cheap but cool.

It's pennies next to what it is attached to.
