XP8 Energy Bar Aquarium Controller - Hydros
XP8 Energy Bar Aquarium Controller - Hydros
Please note: CONTROL XP8 ONLY - Nothing else is included.
The Ultimate Aquarium Power Strip for System Critical Equipment
The HYDROS Control XP8 is an eight outlet (120V AC) energy bar and controller hybrid specifically designed for equipment like heaters and return pumps which are critical to the life support of any aquarium system. Each of the individually controlled outlets is built into the HYDROS controller for the highest level of security. The Control XP8 has a built-in 60W universal voltage Meanwell power supply with a 14amp max power capacity and is designed to pass ETL/UL certification. Besides the clicking on and off of the controlled outlets, the XP8 is completely passively cooled and with its isolated power circuitry, the controller runs completely silent. Best of all, each of the eight outlets has individual power monitoring capabilities.
Besides being an overbuilt power strip, the Control XP8 is also a fully functioning HYDROS system controller capable of taking over intelligent decisions based on the status of other HYDROS Devices within the Collective. The two HYDROS Command Bus ports on the XP8 allow for a wired connection to any other HYDROS controller to form a collective of all Controls in one for the ultimate failsafe system. Control and monitor your Control XP8 energy bar from anywhere in the world using the technologically advanced HYDROS cloud-based app. The Control XP8 also has the ability to monitor and control up to eight different HYDROS WiFi devices.

HYDROS Control XP8 Power and Outlet Guide
The HYDROS Control XP8 combines eight individually monitored 120V AC outlets with a full HYDROS aquarium controller. It supports up to 14 amps total and includes a 60W power supply, making it both an energy bar and a control device rather than a passive outlet strip.
Planning outlet loads
Add the maximum draw of every connected device and keep the combined load within the XP8's stated total capacity. Leave operating margin for equipment with startup surges, and do not assume that eight available receptacles means eight high-draw devices can run simultaneously.
XP8 vs HYDROS Kraken
Choose XP8 for standard AC-powered aquarium equipment such as compatible heaters, pumps, skimmers and lights. The HYDROS Kraken is designed around monitored 24V Force Ports and 12V Drive Ports for compatible DC equipment. Some systems benefit from both: XP8 for AC loads and Kraken for supported low-voltage devices. Use the guide to compare HYDROS controllers for the broader system view.
HYDROS XP8 FAQs
Is the HYDROS XP8 a controller or only an energy bar?
It is a HYDROS controller with eight monitored AC outlets. It can operate as part of a Collective and provides more system intelligence than a basic switched power strip.
How many amps can the HYDROS XP8 handle?
The stated total capacity is 14 amps across all eight outlets. Always follow the product manual and account for startup load when planning connected equipment.
Can the XP8 run by itself?
Yes. It is a controller, though pairing it with other HYDROS devices expands sensing, low-voltage control and system redundancy.
