TrolMaster Aqua-X Irrigation Control System with Water Detector Set (NFS-1)
TrolMaster (NFS-1) Aqua-X Irrigation Controller
The Aqua-X (NFS-1) from TrolMaster is a commercial-grade irrigation controller built for precision and flexibility. This modular system is fully customizable, easy to install, and scalable for larger grow operations. The Aqua-X can control up to 30 individual irrigation zones, including both 24VAC solenoid valves and 120VAC pump systems.
It also supports monitoring of pH, EC, and water temperature, and can track soil moisture using up to eight Water Content Sensors connected to a single NFS-1 unit. Irrigation timers can be programmed as cyclical timers or to run at specific times and durations throughout the day, depending on your irrigation strategy.
With the free TrolMaster App, users can view data, change settings, and receive alerts remotely—anytime, from anywhere.
At the core of the Aqua-X system is the NFS-1 controller, which also includes a WD-1 Water Detector for leak detection and irrigation confirmation.
Features & Benefits:
- LCD Display, Easy Operation
- Managing Multiple Rooms, Multiple Zones Delivery
- Control up to 30 Solenoid Valves or Pumps
- pH, EC, Temp Monitoring
- Free Smartphone App with Alerts & Historical Chart
- Data Logging
The Aqua-X series is a professional-grade irrigation control system. It is a fully customizable modular-designed system. Installation is simple and the system is easy to expand.
Aqua-X System
The NFS-1 has an LCD display and 6-buttons to allow the user to change setpoints and access functions on the Aqua-X. The timers can be set up to be recycling timers or schedule timers with 12 individual customizable irrigation schedules that operate at specific times of day with different durations. The ON Timers can be set as low as 1 second. OFF times can be set down as low as 1 minute.
A maximum of 5 control modules can be connected to each NFS-1. Users can manage irrigation times for nutrient tanks or Dosatron systems. TrolMaster recommends using the NFS-1 / Aqua-X system to control up to 30 individual outputs ( 24V or 110V ).
The NFS-1 also offers pH, EC, and water temperature monitoring as well as historical data logging. The user also can monitor the moisture level of the growing medium using the optional WCS-1 sensors.
Aqua-X Pro System
The NFS-2 controller from TrolMaster is one of the most advanced irrigation controllers available today. The NFS-2 is a multi-functional controller which can control multiple irrigation solenoids and pumps. Many advanced new features are available in Aqua-X Pro.
The NFS-2 can also monitor multiple water sensors that can measure pH, EC, temperature, and water content sensors. There is also a new optional DFW-1 flow-meter that serves multiple functions. Each of the solenoids and pumps can be "linked" to work together so that multiple growing areas can be controlled by a single NFS-2.
When combined with the optional AMP-3, WCS-1, WCS-2 sensors, and the new DFW-1 flow-meter, the NFS-2 allows the user to monitor up to 50 sensors and receive mobile notifications when any problem is detected by the system.
The NFS-2 was created to allow users to customize their irrigation cycle and be able to control the irrigation events by using either the DFM-1 digital flow-meter, WCS-1, or WCS-2 moisture content sensors or by simple timers. Each device controlled by the NFS-2 can conceivably have an unlimited number of irrigation "events" each 24-hour day.

Q&A
Common questions about the TrolMaster Aqua-X Irrigation Control System!
Q: What is the TrolMaster Aqua-X system used for?
A: The Aqua-X (NFS-1) is a professional-grade irrigation controller designed to automate watering schedules across multiple grow zones. It can control both 24VAC solenoid valves and 120VAC pumps, making it ideal for hydroponics, soil, and coco-based setups.
Q: How many irrigation zones can the Aqua-X control?
A: The system can manage up to 30 separate irrigation zones, each with its own programmable schedule. This makes it perfect for medium to large-scale grow operations.
Q: What types of sensors are compatible with the Aqua-X?
A: The Aqua-X can monitor:
-
pH
-
EC (Electrical Conductivity)
-
Water Temperature
-
Soil or grow medium moisture levels using up to 8 Water Content Sensors (WCS-1/WCS-2)
Q: Can the Aqua-X operate on a timed schedule?
A: Yes. You can program recycling timers or specific time-of-day events with custom durations, giving you full control over irrigation frequency and volume.
Q: Does the Aqua-X send alerts or allow remote monitoring?
A: Absolutely. Through the TrolMaster App, users can monitor the system remotely, receive notifications for leaks or failures, and adjust settings from anywhere.
Q: What is included with the Aqua-X system?
A: The standard Aqua-X package includes the NFS-1 controller and a WD-1 Water Detector, which provides leak alerts and confirms irrigation activity. Additional sensors and control modules are available separately.
Q: Can I automate irrigation based on moisture levels?
A: Yes. When paired with WCS-1 or WCS-2 Water Content Sensors, the Aqua-X can automate irrigation events based on real-time moisture readings—helping to optimize dry-down cycles and prevent overwatering.
Q: Is the Aqua-X easy to set up and expand?
A: Very. It’s designed with a modular structure, making installation simple and expansion straightforward as your grow operation scales.
