Osmolator Wiring ??

[DaveJ]

Roger,

I am currently using the Osmolator with the stock wiring etc. However, in its final configuration, I will want to run it from a room behind a connected wall. The base unit will stay by the tank and the sensors etc are directly below it (this is due to the hard wiring to the sensor etc). However, the line that powers/triggers the pump that is connected with those two screw connecteors, can that be extended? If so, what is the length limit on the wiring to the pump itself, I estimate I would need to jump it about 6-8 ft at most?

Also, the pump itself. I estimate I will need to run about 8-9 ft of hose from the pump back to the sump from the topoff container, rising at most 2-3ft along the way. Do you see any issues with that height and distance?

The hose run isn't a problem, they come stock with 9ft of hose, just be sure your end point is above the reservoir to avoid a siphon. You could use 20 gauge speaker wire and another euro connector to extend the wiring, just be sure to use clean new wire and tin the ends so you have clean connections.

Great thanks... what is the max length/height on that pump anyway? A few additional feet may be needed and I just want to make sure I'm within the rating for it.

9ft is the max. head pressure.
