Finalizing my new diaphragm pump controller system

[Biz]

Finally got some time to complete my updated version diaphragm pump controller system. I'm calling it the "Smart Sap Sucker" :) It's the third generation of units I have designed and used the past 2 years. Has some nifty new features. Check it out on my facebook page - you do not need to have a facebook account to view the page.

I have posted the video on Youtube for those who cannot access Facebook - shows a brief walk-through of the controller setup. Will post a couple other videos over the next few weeks.

A new video is posted to my facebook page and youtube sites, showing operation and features of the latest version S3 diaphragm pump controller.

I am offering a couple of free loaner controller units for the 2017 season, in exchange for feedback on performance, what you like or don't like, etc. You will need to provide the diaphragm pump, a few 1/2" fittings, and battery or power source. Preference given to those willing to experiment and/or located within an hour or two of central Massachusetts so I can help set up or troubleshoot any problems. I also have a limited number of units available for sale. There are a number of options, PM me for details.
