Loop Flow Meter

[BigDaddyKong]

I have bought this kit with dual D5 pumps.

The specs list 1200 l/h, but that is usually a single D5 pump rating. I was reading one forum, and with this setup, a dual pump gets about a 30% increase in flow rate.

I was looking at adding this flowmeter.

I know I will have restrictions that will lower my flow rate, but will that low enough for this meter to read my flow? It only measures 400 l/h.

I will be using an Aquaero 6 Pro along side this.

I wouldn't bother with a flow meter. Just hook the tacho output of the pumps to motherboard fan headers so that you can monitor pump speed, and set the BIOS to give an audible warning if they stop.

do you really need two D5s?

I like the idea of redundancy. I leave my system on 24/7. If I'm not home and have a failure of one pump, I don't need to worry about Intel throttling itself down not to fry. Especially since Tom has turned me onto PLEX, media server by day, bench marking and gaming machine by night.

To be honest, I am a data junkie, and just want the extra info. I just want to make sure this will read correctly. I'm to the point where I am putting temp sensors in both sides of the loop so I can look at offsets.

Thanks OC3D for giving me a new extreme hobbie . This is more expensive than the mid range radio control airplanes and heli's I like to fly lol.
