FMK - Flow Monitoring Kit :: Know your Flow! :: An Accessory for your Apex by Neptune Systems 

Thanks! The FMK has been used by quite a few on our NSI team already and it has given them some incredible insight!

I know it goes by fast - we have to do that or many will not watch. The beauty of RU-vid though is that you can slow down video or go back as many times as you like! :)

Excellent!

Thanks, they take a lot of work for sure so its good to know when we have hit the mark!

The flow sensors should be placed on the flow (return) side, not the drain side.

So, did you pick one up?

Neptune Systems nope! Switched to GHL, got tired of waiting for a simple device to be released plus I'm not a fan of the new toy like Apex.

No worries. Good luck with that. Seems then like you just came here to troll.

Neptune Systems no trolling just truthfully answering your question.

It is 10X the diameter, but we have seen very little variance with half that amount.

Yep, they are not easy to find - and spendy. We will have them available in our company store in the not too distant future - don't have a price for you yet - but it will be a much better price than that.

COR went out to NSI last week. Ammonia monitoring for saltwater is rarely requested.

Look in the help section on Apex Fusion for info on the WAV. there is a scale. 4.3 for tank FLO is pretty impressive!

Brett Smith did you watch the "get started" video?

Is that the video by Aquarium Specialty? If so, paste it is. Any certain kind of paste? I picked up some Rector Seal 5 today, but there's some differing opinions on these here interwebs whether paste is safe, or if you should use PFTE paste. Thank you for your quick response!

Because you use the 1" model and then use step down bushings to 3/4". This is actually much better as it will also not create restriction.

Yes, it is -- and yes, it has!

Generally it is a good idea to upsize your flow meter at least one size from the main line diameter. This would mean that the COR would be optimally run with its included 1.25" union and then a 1.5" flow sensor. Since it is not feasible for us to have a flow sensor in every size, we went from 1" to 2" knowing at any one in-between could use bushings to step down from the 2" to a smaller size - such as 1.25".

You sell the FMK with a 1 inch, so if you would think you advice would involve the 1 inch sensor.

Patience - its almost ready...

Wylie Coyote you can easily use a 3/4" bushing and it will work just fine.

Likely in about 8 weeks.

Neptune Systems thank you

In the USA it will be $199.95 and it is already available for pre-order on a few sites. Resellers will be receiving them as early as this Friday 2/24/17.

Terence do you rembmer this? "DO NOT ANNOUNCE OR MAKE THIS PRODUCT LIVE FOR SALE TO THE PUBLIC OR ON YOUR WEB SITE UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO IN A SUBSEQUENT EMAIL." We never received the subsequent email, but a few sites are already taking preorders? :-( I figure since your talking about it we are allowed to discuss it with our client's?

Email was sent.

We've added to our website as of this AM...www.aquariumspecialty.com/shop-by-brand/neptune-systems/neptune-systems-fmk-flow-monitoring-kit

BSPT/BSPP are the standard worldwide. We sell products all over the world. And on the 1" and 2" models, because you would want to take these sensors out when they need cleaning or should they ever fail, you would want unions anyways. So, this way we can have fittings that will work everywhere, and in the USA you get free unions with the sensor!

Having a hard time understanding this comment. There are standards in the world so one had to be chosen. The molds for all these sensors were already established and using them meant that we could bring a super affordable product to our customers. Other standalone flow sensing products out there cost hundreds more just for measuring one pipe. Add to that we have included quality unions unlike most any other product on the market. The unions alone on the 2" sensors would cost $28 each from BRS. Our 2" sensor WITH these unions is just $99. You will have an impossible time finding a single flow meter device, including the unions, with email/text alarms, etc. for 2" plumbing for $200.
