Streams and an Aquacontroller?

I could not search for the answer since the Search feature is disabled. I am curious to know if Tunze Streams 6000s or 6100s could be controlled via a Neptune System Aquacontroller?

Not beyond on and off once per hour. You would have no speed control or pulse feature as this accomplished by a computer interface between the driver and the controller.

Just to clarify this - I use an Aquacontroller and I have my streams hooked up to the feed timer, which shuts them off for 10 minutes and then back on (just once a day). I know the 7094 controller will do this as well, but it's not easily accessible, and it's much easier to hit 1 button on the controller to shut off all the pumps.

Is this an acceptable application? When you say the streams should only be cycled on and off once an hour, does that mean they need to stay off for an hour before turning them back on? Or is it ok to be off for 10 minutes, as long as I don't cycle them again for at least an hour (or a day, in my case).

The main thin is for them to stay on for an hour after coming on, they can turn off for one minute but the hour run gives time for the brakes to retract and the pump to take in cooling water and lubricate all the parts- water is the lubrication in these pumps.

Got it. Thanks.
