dc pumps now in stack at concept!

[lastlight]

Denny my pump will be in my basement. It'd be nice to be able to completely turn it off from upstairs with the controller. Does the speed control allow you to step down to zero (off) ? I don't think the feed timer (10 min) will be long enough for me to do things like water changes and feed my acan plus...

no from what i can tell it doesnt die completely but close for sure , plus i believe the cord is like 10ft , the controller isnt wireless so not too sure if it will make it upstairs

sump will be elevated in basement so it should reach =)

hmmm... might have to get me an apex so i can just turn it off with my phone. i wonder what speed it comes back on at after losing power?

If it's the same as the Waveline it will come back at the speed it went off at. Feed mode is off.

yes its the same , same pump really lol when the power goes out it comes back to its programmed speed.

one little note though that when the pump is put into feed mode it does back siphon , i hope they do something about that in the future

Have you or anyone for that matter used one of these in a closed loop setup?

planning on using a 1326/dc5000 for return and one for a bottom drilled closed loop, just don't know if this will be the safest pump to use for the closed loop...

Cheers!
