Hello everyone.

I jump right in.

I have a maxi doser that feeds my nitrate reactors (2 filters) with water. As for now I use the switch settings so that each motor starts and stops after a specific timer.

For example pump 1: starts after 7 seconds and stops after 3 seconds. - It works at full speed.

My question is easy. Would it be better for the pump if it worked longer periods but with less speed?

For example: Continuous work on a lower setting/half speed.

What wears most on the pump?

Best regards

Andre.

Hello Andre,

The slower speeds would be more suitable for extended run-times as it puts less wear on the moving parts.
