While this post doesn't have any details YET, this is where we'll post the latest data on the RKM-SL2.

We do expect to start the pre-order as soon as we have the ship date nailed down. When the SL2s start shipping we'll have the firmware for the RKL (1.03) ready to go for all those that want to run salinity on the RKL system.

Hope to post more soon! wink.gif

All the hardware is included with every system. The firmware updater program is on our support forum. Once the update is out we'll post it everywhere.

If this seems obvious, than im sorry...its been a long...hot...day....

Could one use the SL2 to monitor salinity, then control a pump for freshwater when the salinity goes above a set point? Instead of using float valves, which do fail...?

I dont know how much the salinity will vary before the controller kicks the pump on, im just throwing this out their.

Actually I have been thinking about the same thing. You would have to have two pumps on two different plugs both controlled by the float, one RO and one SW. You would set an alarm for both. One alarm would be if SG is 1.025 or above make the SW pump off so only the RO pump turns on when the float is too low. The other alarm would be the opposite so if the SG is 1.024 or below the RO pump is off and only the SW pump is on when the float is too low.

Scott, can you verify if this is possible?
