Controller Built for True Continuous-Duty Liquid Dosing
The HYDROS Sole is a hybrid aquarium controller engineered with a durable continuous-duty dosing pump. It handles demanding tasks like managing calcium reactor effluent, adding kalkwasser, dosing liquid foods, feeding sulfur reactors, and automating water changes without breaking stride.
It works for both saltwater and freshwater systems and can operate as a standalone controller or integrate with other HYDROS devices. The Sole sends alerts and notifications, and when paired with a HYDROS XP8 or WiFi Power Strip, it can also command lights, pumps, feeders, and other equipment.
Included:• Sole Controller• Power Supply• Calibration Beaker
Specifications:• Dimensions: 6 x 3.6 x 4.125 in• Tubing Size: 3 x 5 mm (0.25 in push-fit)• Pump Speed Range: 0.1 to 300 mL/min• Pharmed Pump Head Life: ~1,000 hours
What to Expect from Your HYDROS Smart Device
Requires a HYDROS WiFi Power Strip, Control XP8, or Smart Plug
• Global access and control through the HYDROS cloud app• Local WiFi monitoring and control• Support for up to eight WiFi accessories like Smart Plugs or Power Strips• Dual-core 32-bit processor for fast, independent decision-making• User-defined alerts and notifications• Internal health reporting for voltage, current, CPU load, and temperature• HYDROS Command Bus for data and power distribution
Quick Setup
You don’t need coding skills. The HYDROS app uses simple icons and menus where you tap, drag, or flick to adjust settings. Schedule pumps, lighting, and life-support components or build more advanced automations using real-time sensor data.
Built for Harsh Aquarium Environments
Every HYDROS device is made to survive splashes, condensation, and salt creep. The rugged enclosure and secure connectors protect the hardware and ensure long-term reliability.
Command Bus
The system includes two Command Bus ports for communication between HYDROS units and for powering additional controllers to create a failsafe network.
Continuous-Duty Dosing Pump
The HYDROS Sole includes a single continuous-duty stepper-driven dosing pump designed for uninterrupted use. It can handle reactor effluent, kalkwasser dosing, liquid foods, sulfur reactor feeds, and water change automation.
Features:• Quiet performance• Heavy-duty stepper motor• Works continuously• Reversible operation• 1/4 inch push-fit fittings• Simple maintenance
