I currently have a mechanical timer powering pump, SWCG and heater so they're all powered at the same time.
Thinking about a new VS pump.
Seems some pump control boards have switched output and some don't for accomplishing the same thing as my timer.
If I get a VS that doesn't have switched outputs, what's the proper way of wiring the generator and heater so they are only powered when the pump is running?
I'm going to guess using the timer would work, just keep the pump hot at all times bypassing the timer but leave the others on the timer.
That could potentially allow the SWG and heater to be on with no flow if the run times were out of sync. I know they have built in flow sensors.
Also, to bypass the timer for pump power is it OK to use wire nuts in the enclosure, or is there a better way?
