HYDROS Control XP8 Energy Bar — 8-Outlet Aquarium Controller

Sale price$347.64

The HYDROS Control XP8 gives you eight independently switched outlets and lets you see how much power each connected device draws. Use it to schedule lights, pause a skimmer during maintenance, or track changes in return-pump power draw.

Run the XP8 on its own or connect it to other HYDROS controllers through Command Bus. In a HYDROS Collective, it can switch equipment in response to readings from sensors connected to another controller.

François Neo’s advice

I label each outlet and note the equipment’s normal draw once the system is running. A change in power draw can give you a reason to inspect a pump. If you need to confirm water is moving, add a flow sensor to a compatible HYDROS Sense Port.
