Hydor Koralia timer?????

[customcolor]

why can you use a wave timer for the Hydor Koralias? i just dont get it. do they kill the Hydor Koralias?

 

[Tennsquire]

It's recommended that they be used on a controller that ramps the power up and down but doesn't turn them completely off.

y cant they shut off all the way ?

can u use a light dimmer switch to slow them down? or a 12 volt fan controller?

 

[Tennsquire]

I dunno about dimmer switches. I know that Hydor recommends the SEIO controller for these pumps, and there's talk that they will have their own controller out soon.

i have a #1 on the way i quess i will have to giv it a try. and do a diy forum if it works

yes the seio multicontrollers work great with these pumps. I have mine on them and really like them.

 

[Wuhssie]

the seio multicontrollers only control 2 pumps is that correct?

THe propeller design has too much play and when the power switches, it causes the shaft to make all kinds of racket. I tried it on my coralife timer. Maybe if you use a timer with soft start function. I heard that they may be bringing new ones out by winter.

I've had 2 koralia 4's running on the seio controller for about a month now and its running great.

Yes the seio controller operates 2 pumps. It has 2 outputs. Don't know if you can split the outputs though.

I know Koralia pumps work with the seio controller, but has anyone came up with another idea.?????
I'm hearing use a dimmer switch......I've tried this but didn't work......has anyone tried anything else.???

I am using a SEIO controller with four PHs. One SEIO 1500 and One Koralia #4 connected to each of the two outputs of the controller. The total load on each line is still less that having a single SEIO 2600, which the controller is rated for (a 1500 + K4 is 43W, a 2600 is 55W). It has worked quite well for my 185.

Great info, been wondering about having more than 2. Thank you!

Same here, I have 1 K3 and 1 Tunze nano 6025 on each outlet.

I have to plug the Seio controller into a voltage regulator/line conditioner but that is a long story unique to the power situation where I live.

[ruab]

I got mine from a LFS (which is now defunct). I'm not sure who sells them online.
