Hippo Computer Controller

I know that Hippo is out of business, and that Tony (owner) has taken a lot of people for a ride.

That being said does anyone know the company that made, or have an extra or old computer control module for a three bag hippo system? It is round and has six buttons & leds in it, 3 for fill and 3 for drain?

What is a Hippo System if you don't mind me asking. Just a type of ballast system or what. Setup sounds good any pics of one floating around anywhere. Thanks

Hippo was an automatic ballast company

Yes Pratt. I have an extra hippo controller with full wiring harness! I bought and installed one in March 2001. They sent me the 3 bag controller instead of a 4 bag. Its still in my garage. Its well engineered. If you want to buy it Ill take some pics and post them?

Bug - I absolutely want to buy that controller. Hit me at Pratt@TeamChump.com and we can work out the particulars. I am stoked that someone has one.

Found it! But I am missing one switch because I took it out about 3 months ago to swap what I thought was a bad switch on my boat. Turns out it was a loose wire on mine. I dont know what I have done with the missing switch its somewhere but I have not been able to find it. Ill keep looking but lets just say its gone. This unit comes with full wiring harness and fuse panel. Note its 3 (front, right rear, left rear) and fill 2 drain (front, rear) panel. Now for the $ part. How's $75 and I'll cover the shipping. You can send check to Chris Walker 412 S Brittain Ave Muncie, IN 47303.
