monitors/controllers

[nitr8]

What kind of controllable power heads? Some are compatible with some controllers, some are not. Some require an add on module of some sort to operate with the system controller.

ok I think I at least know the basics to get me started but......
1.) I just got two power heads that have their own controllers, is there a need to connect these to the monitor/controller?
2.) ORP=salinity? i understand the probe monitors this but how would it control the salt content?

ORP and salinity are two different monitors, on the AC3--ORP can be measured with only an ORP probe... salinity can be monitored with the addition of an optional module and an additional probe. This is also true with the Pro (though I think the module is included with the Pro).

They make an add on module for the Apex to run the vortech pumps, but I don't think it works with any of the other controllers.

Correction: AC3 cannot measure conductivity--only the Pro and Apex...
