Not one IOND delivered in the states besides beta. And not many of those. Why is that?
That's not even a viable argument. First pre-order is first pre-order. Not location. That's what GHL promised when it came out. If you or anyone else have no problem with this that's fine. I do.I think we’ve covered this already! If you wanted confirmation that the new units were working correctly, would you ship them close by, or half way around the world?

What's right is right. What's wrong is wrong.
For those willing to put up with what they're doing? I wish you luck. You'll see.
Beta units weren't sent out to random people for random testing. They were sent to people that they could rely on to not give negative feedback. They controlled this whole thing from the begining. If you want to drink their Kool Aide? So be it. I'm not drinkingIt’s not an argument; it’s a sensible precaution at this stage.
I seem to remember early on that you were disregarding the negative feedback from the initial German customers as you implied that they didn’t know what they were talking about; it appears that they did.
I can understand the frustrations with the delays, but the stomping of the feet because someone else got one before you isn’t going to help anyone, particularly as it appears that you’re not on the pre-order list any more anyway.

Several people is better than no people so yes it is a step in the right direction. I am interested to see the general population’s feedback on the IOND. I would love to see these units in the hands of the US preorder customers but it makes sense logistically that those closer to Germany are getting theirs before US.Several people out of thousands is positive news?
Then why are they telling people here it's coming? Soon..........Several people is better than no people so yes it is a step in the right direction.

Yeah, I'm mad. GHL has shown exactly what their customer service is about here.That makes no sense. The initial feedback from production units was that there were problems. These were the reports that you decided were not trustworthy and they weren’t from GHL controlled beta-testers. The way it came across in the forum is that you thought you knew better; it seems that you still do. Until the unit is proven to be consistently reliable, sending you one tomorrow would not achieve anything, however much anyone wishes that it would.
You say that you aren’t drinking the kool aid but you are still annoyed that you’re not on the list, and that other people may be receiving deliveries. On the other hand, I am not a GHL fan boy, am not on the pre-order list, and am patiently waiting for real world feedback (from any country) with a view to possibly buying one in the future.
You can continue to be angry, and I probably would be too if I was in your position, but it isn’t going to achieve anything.
Agree, it makes sense to ship to Germany first and then get feedback. The problem for GHL is that the probe issue was two fold. One involved the shipping damaging to the probe and the other was that it wore out within weeks or months of usage.Several people is better than no people so yes it is a step in the right direction.

There are a few companys that Announced they were releasing a multi ion probe tester thingy and so on, and how many are in use? Only one that im aware of and it took a couple of years to hit the shelves and then another year to get production consitent enough to supply demand.
Im not even sure the trident qualifys as an equal with what ghl is trying to do.
GHL should scrap the organics and focus on the big 3 then work on the others, there loosing market share.
Best of luck guys
This is intriguing. It measures Nitrates, Phosphates, Magnesium, Calcium, and Alkalinity? The lack of phosphate and alkalinity in the IOND was always a drawback for me.Mastertronic before end of year here. Focustronic for the win!!!! (It’ll do nitrates for ya too)
Mastertronic and Alkatronic Arriving before the end of the year

Ok, I read and re-read this reply and couldn’t tell if you were sincerely complimenting the Mastertronic or if you were calling it a piece of crap in a way to avoid the mods from deleting it. LOLmastertronic is a great peace of kit
Too bad Focustronic does not know how to get a product in United States terrible company, it has been consistently out of stock for over a year and I’m over it I’d rather wait for a pre-order then deal with trying to find one in stock and a company who doesn’t even care, I contacted them multiple times and they just ignored me well if they don’t want to sell to anyone in United States then they can stay where the rat and go out of businessMastertronic before end of year here.

Aquarium specialty is in the states and have them now (tax deferred!) I waited 2 years to never get my IOND. Looking forward to being able to test all the major parameters (even iron!). I’m also hoping to rely on their new CLI measurement which if I understand it measures water clarity as a tell when to swap out carbon. Also- I believe it can communicate with the GHL P4 to log measurements.Too bad they don’t know how to get a product in United States terrible company, it has been consistently out of stock for over a year and I’m over it I’d rather wait for a pre-order then deal with trying to find one in stock and a company who doesn’t even care
Well maybe GHL will see this and start sending directors out, but also seems like Focustronic seems to have an in with disgruntled customers of GHL, I still would prefer the Iondirector just because all of my controller stuff is GHL and they seem like a solid company, that being said I’ve only been waiting a few months for my pre-order so I’m not as upset as everyone elseAquarium specialty is in the states and have them now (tax deferred!)

sounds like GHL is close… but this isn’t horseshoes.

Definitely no “in” here (I wish). This will be my first experience with Focustronic but I have seen/heard good things. I’m still a GHL fan (as an apex convert). The mastertronic does seem as well thought out as a GHL product so maybe that’s why GHL users are attracted.Well maybe GHL will see this and start sending directors out, but also seems like Focustronic seems to have an in with disgruntled customers of GHL, I still would prefer the Iondirector just because all of my controller stuff is GHL and they seem like a solid company, that being said I’ve only been waiting a few months for my pre-order so I’m not as upset as everyone else
