I could not resist the switch from Electronics Goldmine and mine arrived yesterday. It is tapped for 1/4 NPT and operates off of 24v DC. The latter had me totally bummed out until I pulled the cover off the circuit board and saw that it has 12v regulator and 12v relay on the board - indicating it will run just fine on 12v.

There are four tapped NPT openings and you choose different combinations for diff flow rates. The high flow path does not look terribly restrictive. The literature on Proteus web site says the block itself is brass, but the one I have looks like stainless steel.

The electronics package can be removed from the plumbing section and located remotely with very little effort. This is good for me since I am putting it in an Antec mid-tower where I am trying to keep all the plumbing internal and space is at a premium.

I haven't tested it yet, but for $9.95 plus shipping it is a hell of a deal. This thing appears to be very well built.

I am going to put it in a new case I am building and I will report back on my impressions of how it works.


BO(V)BZ- Thanks for sharing.
