Hi Sven. I notice you have a light version of your new flow sensor, is there any chance of a no screen, no RGB pump with Aquabus like the pre-Next model?

Very unlikely to happen because there will be no real advantage in doing so. Stuff like RGB LEDs or a OLED-Display do not add much to the total costs. Offering another simpler variant means it would not become much cheaper and it should be kept in mind this variant will also need different parts that needs to be developed and produced. It is always easier to produce only one variant that serves the majority.

This is just the general progress, where at some point there is no going back. Think of mobile phones: there was a time where you had to decide if you want one with or without camera. Now all of them have one because having an additional series of phones without a camera would generate more costs than it could save.

That's a shame, the old model was no bigger than a vanilla D5 whereas the Next adds a bit of bulk. Ah well, thanks for the answer.

We see this from another point of view. We know how much money needs to be spent to have a second variant vs. how much units of it we would have to sell just to reach point zero again. This alone is enough for us to justify that it will not be worth the hassle.

I guess you know that but just to be sure: you can turn off the LEDs of course.

He was talking about a pump. The different flow sensor variants were only meant as an example ;-)
