Compact 3-Port Drive Controller for Expanding a HYDROS System
The HYDROS Control XD is a companion controller built to add more 12V drive power to an existing HYDROS setup. It packs three universal drive ports into a compact unit capable of running ATO pumps, dosing pumps, cabinet LED lights, cooling fans, and solenoids. It's controller and power supply only, designed to plug into a larger HYDROS system rather than run on its own.
Beyond the drive ports, the Control XD includes a power port that adds another layer of redundancy to the overall Control system, and its two Command Bus ports let it communicate with other HYDROS devices for a shared failsafe. Setup takes just minutes through the HYDROS app, and all HYDROS products are engineered, assembled, and supported in the USA.
Key Features:
- Three universal 12V DC drive ports rated up to 1.5A each, 3A total
- Continuous current monitoring on each drive port, with alerts if a device draws too much or too little
- Additional power port for extra redundancy across the HYDROS Control system
- Two Command Bus ports for wired links to other HYDROS controllers
- Dual-core 32-bit processor for fast, on-device control decisions
- IP65-rated, splash-proof, dust-proof housing with aircraft-style connectors
Ideal For:
- Hobbyists whose main HYDROS controller has run out of open drive ports
- Anyone adding several 12V accessories, like an ATO pump, a dosing pump, and cabinet lighting, at once
- Reef keepers building a modular, expandable HYDROS system over time
Pro Tips:
- Use the current monitoring to catch problems early. If a connected ATO or dosing pump ever draws unusually low or high current, the Control XD will flag it before it becomes a bigger issue.
- Plan your drive port assignments before you buy. With only three ports, deciding what plugs in first (ATO, dosing, or lighting) helps you figure out if you need a second XD later.
- Remember this is controller and power supply only. No drive port accessories are included, so budget for whatever you're planning to connect.
