Question about the dosing pumps and relay box

Post by gros21 »

How do we control these?
Is it via 1 or 2 connections on the relay box.

What happens if I need to dose different amounts of ca and alk (due to a calcium reactor)
Or want to dose alk and mag

Cheers.

Oh and the really box handles 5a per point. How does it handle inrush current on a chiller (I've got a 1hp chiller)

It will use 2 sockets of your relay box.
Because it uses different sockets, you can dose different amounts of each doser.
I'm afraid you will have problems tying to fire off 1HP motor using the relay box.

Easy as perfect.

I'll just use your relay box to trigger a contacter or similar. I'm a lecky by trade and is a simple job.



What's the ec expansion worth
