Heya just looking to see if anyone else has had issues connecting their Eheim pumps directly to the AC source on the inside of the power supply. I would rather not use two plugs. I had planned to use a relay to energise the pump only when the computer is on however I haven’t been able to manage even a direct connection. Whenever I try I get power through one of the leads the ground is fine but the other wire shows very low amperage when connected to the pump. When it is not connected it reads normally. I am a bit of an AC electrical neophyte so any suggestions would be appreciated.
