Steady flow control

[CEReefer]

Hi everyone! I am about to buy some GHL flowmeters. I know you can set it to keep a pump flow steady, meaning you set it at 1000gph, and it will adjust the 0-10v output to a pump, in order to keep it steady at 1000gph.

Will it also tell me when it’s creeping up with the adjustments? I.e. if it has been steadily increasing it, due to loss of performance from the pump

This may be useful to monitor a pump health and time the maintenance appropriately.

I use a 9000l/h flow meter to control the flow from my Red Dragon 100 for my UV. I couldn't find anywhere is the app to monitor just how much voltage is going to the pump controller, but I thought I saw something in GCC.
However, the pump controller for the RD100 has indicator as to what percent the pump is running. If I were to see that increase, I would know there is an issue with the pump or a blockage in a pipe.

If there is an automatically way to see this - I do not know - but if you - when you start with a fresh pump note the Voltage your system says when it is given you the wanted flow and check up this now and when - you will see if the pump need more voltage to withhold the same flow - my example shows the voltage my cabinet fan get in this moment in order to withhold a temperature of around 27.5

Yeah, they really need to add this. I'm surprised that they haven't yet.

Would be a nice way to track maintenance! @Vinny@GHLUSA
