It seems they both are great controllers but what would set the ACjr off and be better?

Can ACjr do kalk reactor and Ca reactor?

Can someone give me some pointers on why to choose ACjr over RK2

it seems the jr with serial prt has alot more features that would make my decision easier. Although ots very tenptimg to get the AC3 just cause there will be a time i will upgrade the tank but....

question thoug what is the aqua notes and isolator?

Also can this give me updates via text message to my cell phone?

alos can someone explain the Hardwired or X10 Control Options ?

i want the controler to be upstairs and the the equipment is in my basement. The wording is a little confusing to me.

AquaNotes is our windows program. More details here: http://www.neptunesys.com/aquaNotes.htm . The isolator (SERIPC9) is used to opto isolated the serial connect on the Jr, from the PC to prevent ground loops.
Yes, with the full version of AquaNotes, the Jr. can send emails to the text message email address of your cell phone. The AC3 can send emails stand alone so an external PC/AquaNotes is not required.
X10 is an the old wireless protocol used to control equipment. We recommend all new users use our direct connect boxes as they are much more reliable.

thanks i just need to justify the extra money to the wify. I think i will much happy with the ACjr for now, until i really upgrade the tank.

Can the ACjr control a Ca reactor and Kalk reactor? I know Ca, but what about a kalk also
