Bypass for sensors

It is really much easier than you think (for me it was the first time I did it).

You only need the material (very cheap, less than 40€), a saw and glue (especially for PVC).

Three things:

  1. Connect the bypass with the collars from the filter outlet until before the pump. Build the bypass without glue, to see how it looks and adjust the perfect cutting measures.

  2. The thick tube (50mm = D50, where the probes are) is** horizontal and as low as possible, to ensure that it never runs out of water.** And recomended less than 3 meters from where the raspberrypi is (for not cables too long).

  3. Chop the pipes with a dremmel with a rounded fat sander head. Test first on an unused pipe (with the collar on). Finally, when you have practice and the holes are perfect, make them on the main pipes (what you need most guts).

NOTE: Neither this project nor I have anything to do with Atlas Scientific or any other company. I have chosen all these components because they are the best value for money and ease of integration that I found after an exhaustive search. Please feel free to recomend or improve others.
