Running a aqualifter on an RKLite.

Hey,
I want to start dosing with an aqualifter. I already have an rkl with outlets 1,2 and 4 in use. Would outlet 3 work? I know some of the outlets don't work properly with low power items. Which outlets would work?

 

IIRC, I believe that they say to use a low power device on 2 or 3, you need a surge protector for that individual outlet, or else it can get stuck on. Or you can se 1 or 4 without a surge protector, if you can move something.

 

1 and 4 are evo 1400 but they get stuck on on 3 and 2. By use a surge protector do u mean plug in surge protector and load surge protector with enough devices to high enough power to trip off or just run surge protector and same single item.

 

No, you can just have a surge protector with just the pump, you don't need to add other items to load the circuit.


A quote from n2585722the DA forum:
"Place surge protectors between the pumps and the PC4. Your low power pumps back EMF is causing an issue with the triac output on CH 2 & CH 3."

 

I run 3 Aqualifters on 1, 3 and 4 with no problems. You should be fine IMO. However, as stated above a surge protector will help you out.

 

Ok cool. I'm still thinking this through. i may go with a kalk reactor instead.
