Anyone had any success setting up monitoring for the freshwater supply for HVAC?
We've got a single intake/outflow setup for our four compressors. 3 of which are split systems, and the last one is an all-in-one. It's the last one that's a problem. The sea strainer got congested, but not enough for the first 3 systems to present errors. It was only the last unit that threw an error. It's on about 6' of hose to/from the main manifold. Pressure can drop just enough for that last one to fail.
I'm wondering about maybe putting something on the manifold to track/monitor the pressure, and alert me if it drops into a certain range. As in, don't alert if it stops (because, yeah, the AC system is off). Only alert if it's dropping into a low range. That'd help give me a heads-up that something's likely amiss.
I've got a Maretron FPM100 that I could use for this.
I'm wondering what PSI range this stuff runs. It's a Dometic setup, but I don't have the specific part numbers handy.
