Sorry, I was out wake surfing.
Pros:
Allows you to use the VSP scheduler to run your pump times, durations and speeds.
Pump not pumping (drawing current), SWCG will be off.
No need to start and stop the pump, which causes the most wear.
You can set the current switch to turn on 100-200 ABOVE the flow rate needed for the SWCG to work. If pump doesn't "fail" but doesn't pump enough, still protects the cell.
Hope that helps!!!
You can get a timer, like an intermec or other mechanical timer and hook the pump and the SWCG up to the same timer. Both would start and stop both.It was my understanding that the timer would only be to start/stop the swcg and not the pump?
Closed.I've read a couple of threads and honestly still no better off with understanding this. I guess I thought the timer's safety purpose was that it would still shut down the swcg in the event the flow switch failed open
YEP.and the pump had shut off.
Yes, if you were on a timer and the pump failed, it would not stop the SWCG.But even that doesn't make sense to me because if that scenario were to happen 1 hr into a 6 hr run time then you'd still have 5 hrs of the problem???
That is why I went to the relay.This is where I am still confused. Your relay did make more sense to me than the timer.
