The TrolMaster Aqua-X Water Detector and Touch Spot WD-1 is a versatile and essential component for comprehensive water monitoring and management in various applications. Here’s an in-depth look at its uses, features, and benefits:
Two Key Uses for WD-1 Water Detector
Leak Detection:
-
Efficient Leak-Detection: The WD-1 can be placed on the floor or within any space to monitor for water leaks. It acts as an efficient leak detector, alerting users to the presence of unwanted water.
Water Verification Monitor:
-
Water Runoff Monitoring: Positioned where water runoff collects or where water is introduced to the growing medium.
-
Irrigation Failure Alerts: Each output (solenoid or pump) on the Aqua-X can be assigned to a specific WD-1. If the WD-1 does not detect water within an adjustable delay time when activated, the Aqua-X will alert the user of an “irrigation failure.”
Advanced Monitoring with Aqua-X Pro
Auto-Fill Function:
-
Dual Sensor Setup: Utilize two WD-1 sensors to activate the Auto-Fill function on the Aqua-X Pro. Place one sensor at the bottom and the other at the top of the nutrient tank.
-
Automatic Refill: When the liquid level drops below the bottom sensor, the Aqua-X Pro activates a solenoid or pump to refill the tank until the top sensor detects the water level, ensuring consistent nutrient supply.
Compatibility and Limitations
Detection Capabilities:
-
Versatile Detection: WD-1 sensors can detect leaks from municipal, well, or nutrient-infused water.
-
RO Water Limitation: They may not detect leaks from Reverse Osmosis (RO) water due to its low dissolved solids content.
Key Features
Scalable Monitoring:
-
Extensive Connectivity: Connect up to 25 WD-1 sensors to a single Aqua-X module, allowing for comprehensive water monitoring across multiple points in your system.
User Alerts:
-
Immediate Notifications: Receive alerts for irrigation failures, enabling timely intervention to prevent water damage or nutrient deficiency in plants.
Benefits
-
Comprehensive Water Management: The WD-1 provides robust monitoring solutions for both leak detection and water verification, ensuring optimal water management in various applications.
-
Enhanced System Reliability: By alerting users to irrigation failures and enabling automatic refills, the WD-1 helps maintain system reliability and efficiency.
-
Flexible and Scalable: The ability to connect multiple sensors allows for a scalable solution that can be tailored to specific monitoring needs.
Summary
The TrolMaster Aqua-X Water Detector and Touch Spot WD-1 is a versatile and reliable water monitoring solution designed to enhance the efficiency and safety of your water management systems. Whether used for leak detection or water verification, the WD-1 ensures timely alerts and interventions, maintaining optimal conditions for your hydroponic systems, aquariums, or other water-dependent setups.
