I got a kick ass sitch from work. actually its a lighted buton that you can "snap" as many switches as you want. so I want to set it up like this: push button, pump comes on, buton lights up vai molex connector, shorts open swith connected to positive wire on "power on" button. now able to push "power on" button to boot up system. Way Wicked Cool! This setup makes it impossible to boot you box before your water is on. heres the problem. the switch is reatd at 600v/10 amps max current. my pump(Mag drive) is listed at 115v/25 watts! how do you figure watts? Help my whole rig rides on this !
