1. A fluid flow controller device, comprising:
- a fluid flow controller;
wherein said fluid flow controller comprises;
a fluid flow control component and an electronic controller;
wherein said fluid flow control component is configured to allow a fluid to pass through said fluid flow controller in at least two different flow rates;
wherein said electronic controller controls said fluid flow controller component, such that said fluid flow controller component operatively switches between said at least two different flow rates;
wherein said electronic controller is configured to wirelessly connect to an external computing device;
wherein said electronic controller is configured to receive one or more signals from said external computing device related to selecting one of said at least two different flow rates;
wherein said fluid flow controller further comprises a powered drive unit;
wherein said powered drive unit is operatively coupled with said fluid flow control component and said electronic controller;
wherein said electronic controller sends a signal to said powered drive unit, which in turn actuates said fluid flow control component;
wherein said electronic controller is configured to receive one or more signals from said external computing unit related to selecting one of said at least two different flow rates;
said at least two different flow rates are three different flow rates;
wherein said fluid flow control component comprises;
a mechanical rheostat, a first control adapter, and a second control adapter;
wherein said mechanical rheostat is configured to operatively couple with a drive shaft of said powered drive unit; and
wherein said mechanical rheostat has three positions;
blocking said first control adapter;
blocking said second control adapter; and
not blocking either said first control adapter or said second control adapter.
