TrolMaster Aqua-X Pro Irrigation Control System (NFS-2)
TrolMaster NFS-2 Irrigation Controller
The TrolMaster NFS-2 is one of the most sophisticated irrigation controllers available on the market today. Designed for flexibility and precision, it supports the control of multiple irrigation solenoids and pumps across various grow zones.
Beyond just control, the NFS-2 also supports real-time monitoring of key water parameters. It can be paired with a range of sensors to track pH, EC/PPM, water temperature, and moisture levels. The system is also compatible with the new DFM-1 digital flow meter, which offers a wide range of monitoring and control features.
Each pump and solenoid valve can be linked to function in coordination, enabling growers to manage several irrigation zones from a single centralized unit. When used alongside optional accessories like the AMP-3, WCS-1, WCS-2, and DFM-1, the NFS-2 is capable of monitoring up to 50 sensors. If any issue arises, the system can send instant mobile alerts to notify the user.
Customizing your irrigation schedule is easy with the NFS-2. Irrigation events can be triggered using timers, moisture sensors (WCS-1/WCS-2), or the DFM-1 flow meter, giving users complete control over how and when their irrigation system runs. Each connected device can be programmed with an unlimited number of irrigation events within a 24-hour period, offering true scheduling freedom.

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 Pro Irrigation Control System!
Q: What is the TrolMaster Aqua-X Pro (NFS-3) used for?
A: The Aqua-X Pro is a high-performance, multi-zone irrigation controller designed for advanced grow operations. It allows for precise management of pumps, solenoids, sensors, and automated irrigation cycles, all from a centralized system.
Q: How is the Aqua-X Pro different from the standard Aqua-X (NFS-1)?
A: The Aqua-X Pro (NFS-3) features a 7” LCD touchscreen, supports up to 240 controllable devices, and can monitor up to 25 sensors. It also includes enhanced programming options, historical data tracking, and automated crop steering capabilities.
Q: What types of sensors are compatible with the NFS-3?
A: The Aqua-X Pro supports sensors for:
-
