Profilux Hydor Koralia Pump Control Question...

[mzbwlk]

Hi,
I have noticed that they now make Hydor Koralia 5-6-7-8 12v pumps. It says that they can be controlled by their Wavemaker 2 second generation..
Is the Profilux Hydor Koralia controller based off of their second generation model. The pricing on these pumps are from (List Price) $174.99 - $221.99 and
you can buy them for $129.99 - $169.99...Here is the spec sheet on these pumps...

Hello,
with ProfiLux Pump Control you can control these pumps, it has especially been developed for this purpose.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply Carolin.
The only description I have seen for the Profilux Hydor Koralia Controller is that it is for Hydor Koralia 1-2-3-4 pumps and does not say that it would work on the 5-6-7-8 pumps.
I thought that the maximum Draw was 25ma per L port. If I used 2 Hydor Koralia - 8 pumps which are 22 watts, wouldn’t the draw be too much. (22w*2)/115v= .38 Amps
Or is the controller supplying the power to the pumps and the L port is adjusting the 0-10v to the controller.
I just want to make sure so I don't waste my money and or burn something up.

The profilux korallia controller has its own powersupply and doesn't draw the power for the pumps from the profilux L ports!

@ Mzbwlk & Chew
Sorry, this was a misunderstanding between my colleague and me, we have clarified this now:
Pump Control can be used for Koralia pumps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6, this will work,
but for 7 & 8 it can't be used. Sorry for the confusion!

Carolin,
Thanks for clearing things up. I will keep this in mind when deciding what pumps to buy.
Looks like I may get the Tunze pumps after all !!!!
