Aqua Medic PH Control Unit

Anybody use one of these ?

Currently i use an Octopus computer, but given it's age it is not possible to put a probe into a calcium reactor, instead it recomends putting the probe in the sump and setting the C02 to switch off when the tank PH drops below a set limit. I can't see this being any good for my tank as the PH never drops below 7.9 (so all i can see this doing is turning the gas off at night)

So back to the original question. I am interested in folks views on these controllers. I do not want to shell out large sums of money on a new computer system, and although i have a computer i do not like the one box controlling everything approach. My computer only controls the lights, and monitors the Temp, PH.

I use the equivalent controller be it identical but much cheaper.Never had a prob yet touch wood and i personally feel it takes the pain out of setting up a reactor.I use my probe in the reactor,equally peeps leave them in a container set up besides the reactor sat in the effluent as it drips in and overflows into the sump.
