Hi,
I've almost finished my first major pond build, just need to get it powered up, but need a little help
I've picked up a second hand Filtreau drum filter, it comes with the standard Filtreau control box that has 4 power outlets.
This may be dumb question, but why is the main pond pump going through the control box? Is it to prevent the main pump running without the filter turned on or some other reason?
I actually have two pond pumps, a smaller one for return jets and the larger that feeds a bog filter.
Can I plug the smaller pump into the UVC?
The pumps are both variable so have there own controllers, so the pump controllers would be plugged into the filter controller or should plug into the mains ignoring the filter controller?
thanks
