Frequently asked questions

What happens if the internet goes down?

Nothing essential. Sensors, rules, outlets, dosers and feeding keep working — control is entirely local. You temporarily lose the e-mails, the cloud and access from outside the house; the Local Manager remains reachable by IP. When the connection returns, the history is synchronised.

And if the power goes out?

When it returns, the equipment resumes on its own, with every setting preserved. With the Failover module and a UPS, the outage becomes a managed event: the essentials carry on, the rest waits (Chapter 23).

Can I use dosing pumps from other brands?

Yes — any 12 V dosing or peristaltic pump can be controlled by the Aquarino. The calibration (Chapter 21) adapts the system to your pump's flow rate.

How much equipment can I connect?

16 outlets (two Powerbars), 6 dosers, 1 feeder, 3 temperature sensors, 2 flow, 2 leak, 4 level, plus the measurement modules on the BUS.

Does the Controller measure pH, salinity, ORP?

It does, with the corresponding modules installed in the BUS ports (Chapter 7). Without the module, the parameter can be entered manually and still make its way into graphs and rules.

Can I access it from outside the house?

Yes, through the Aquarino app — the equipment needs to be online (blue LED lit). Critical actions, such as calibrating and configuring Wi-Fi, still require you on the same network, for safety.

Can more than one person follow the equipment?

Yes. Through the app you share access by entering the person's e-mail — they need an Aquarino account. Access can be revoked at any time.

I changed a setting and nothing happened. Why?

Check the padlock: in protected mode the system ignores commands. And remember that in manual mode the rules are suspended — the outlets only go back to obeying schedules and rules in automatic.

The beep is bothering me. How do I turn it off?

In Custom. → Audio. You can also turn the audio alert off per sensor, keeping the beep only for what is critical. The panel LEDs can be switched off in Custom. too.

I lost the device password.

The factory password is aquarino. If it was changed and forgotten, talk to support with the equipment's UUID at hand.
