Aqua Lifter Problems

[brick-brothers]

I'm having problems with my aqua lifter. When its plug to my apex and I turn the power off the pump stays on. Did anyone else have this problem.

Have you tried the other outlets?

Ahhh you beat me to it....

Some extremely small loads (Aqualifter pumps, solenoid, LED moon lights) may not turn off when controlled by the solid state outlets (1-3 and 5-7).

Try outlet 4 or 8, those are using relays. The other outlets are solid state/TRIACs.

What are you using it for? ATO?

 

[brick-brothers]

yes im using it as a ATO. And I tried 4-8 outlets

 

[brick-brothers]

Any other reason why it wouldn't work?

The Aqualifter has low wattage. What I did was get a 3 outlet multitap and added a nightlight with the pump.

I experienced the same problem with my BRS dosing pumps and aqua lifter pumps. I now have 2 eb8s and use the #4 and #8 outlets

 

[brick-brothers]

I'm going to try the #8 outlet. If that dont work i have to buy a night light to see if that option works

Ok the light lite work. Now my issue is that I program it for 5 min. It turns on when it suppose to but doesn't turn off. Is it a setting on the apex or program code I should be using?

 

[ecvernon]

are you using the OSC command or are you using set off command
examples:
OSC 000:00/005:00/055:00 Then ON


If Time 22:00 to 22:05 Then On

 

[ecvernon]

Either way it should turn off. when you look at the web display, does it say outlet status is on or off? If the pump is running even though the status says it is off, there may be a posibility that the EB8 is defective

Ok let me play with it using that info. Thanks
