RDF Sensor – Sea Side Aquatics

About This Product

The Sea Side Aquatics RDF Sensor is a replacement water level sensor designed for compatible Sea Side Aquatics Rotary Drum Filter (RDF) systems. This essential filtration component monitors water levels within the drum filter, allowing the controller to determine when an automatic cleaning cycle is needed to remove accumulated debris and maintain efficient pond filtration.

Rotary Drum Filters provide advanced mechanical filtration for koi ponds and ornamental water gardens by capturing suspended waste, fish debris, algae, and other particles on a fine mesh drum screen. As debris accumulates, water movement through the screen becomes restricted, causing a change in water level. The RDF sensor detects this change and communicates with the filtration controller to initiate the appropriate cleaning cycle.

A properly functioning sensor is essential for reliable automatic operation. When an RDF sensor becomes damaged, contaminated, or stops responding correctly, the filtration system may experience unnecessary cleaning cycles, delayed backwashing, or reduced filtration performance.

The Sea Side Aquatics RDF Sensor is available in three configurations: Float Sensor, 2-Pin Probe Sensor, and 3-Pin Probe Sensor. Each version is designed for specific RDF controller systems, making it important to select the correct sensor for your equipment.

The Float Sensor is compatible with Eco 20, Entry 25, and Entry 25M systems. The 2-Pin Probe Sensor is designed for WiFi-enabled RDF controllers, while the 3-Pin Probe Sensor is intended for Version 2 controllers.

Whether you’re replacing a malfunctioning sensor, maintaining an existing filtration system, or restoring automatic drum cleaning functionality, the Sea Side Aquatics RDF Sensor provides a model-specific replacement solution for dependable pond filtration.

Installation and Maintenance Recommendations:

Always disconnect electrical power to the RDF controller and associated equipment before removing or replacing the sensor.

Identify the existing sensor configuration and verify compatibility with your Sea Side Aquatics RDF controller before installation. The different sensor versions are not interchangeable.

Carefully remove the existing sensor and inspect the mounting location, electrical connections, and surrounding components for debris, mineral deposits, or damage.

Install the replacement sensor according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring it is properly positioned to detect water level changes within the drum filter.

After installation, restore power and verify that the controller correctly recognizes water level changes and initiates the cleaning cycle when required.

Periodically inspect the sensor for algae buildup, mineral deposits, or accumulated debris that may interfere with accurate operation.

Important Compatibility Information:

Select the correct sensor version for your RDF controller.

• Float Sensor: For Eco 20, Entry 25, and Entry 25M systems.
• 2-Pin Probe Sensor: For compatible WiFi RDF controllers.
• 3-Pin Probe Sensor: For Version 2 RDF controllers only.

The 2-Pin and 3-Pin versions should not be substituted for one another. The 3-Pin Probe Sensor is not compatible with Eco 20 systems.

Recommended application: Replacing worn or malfunctioning water level sensors to restore automatic cleaning, reliable water level detection, and efficient mechanical filtration in Sea Side Aquatics Rotary Drum Filter systems.
