Automatic Water Changes with LitreMeter III

OK, so I did some searches, but the info is a little dated. I have a current generation LitreMeter III and two remote pumps I'd like to employ. Is anyone still using this equipment for AWC's? I'd be interested in any experiences, pro's/cons, and etc. Thanks.

I used a Litermeter III and slave pump for AWC’s for a number of years. They are very reliable pumps and work just fine for it. Just be sure to calibrate the pumps every few months and clean the rollers in the head every 6 months or so. It also doesn’t hurt to keep some spare tubing so you can swap the tubing every several months.

Thank you. I have spare tubing. Did you use the water change module of just two properly calibrated pumps?

I used the main LM3 brain with built in pump and a 2nd pump module plugged into the LM3 brain. Both of which were calibrated separately.

Cool. Thanks. Life is really getting in the way lately. I need to get the AWC set up. It appears I have everything I need. Thanks.
