Did I see an OD controller in one of your other pics ?

Cheers in advance
Who is going to come up with the Arduino still controller

:-? I'd be thinking that you need it after the RC. How much does it overshoot by?

If this was my system I would look and modulating flow control valves. These take an analogue 1 - 10 v signal. a 3/4 size valve can control flow ( based on mains pressure) between 0.1 LPH to around 15 LPH. in .01 volt increments. ( 100 increments total). If you use a pressure limiting valve before it you will have very precise control. These will run you anywhere from $120 - $300 depending on quality. I would recommend a course filter inline before the valve also.
