Pump

PlawsWorth · 10-22-2002, 09:24 AM

I wonder if there is anyway to make so that for example a Eheim 1048 pump starts and stops with the pc. So I don't have to plug in the pump every time that i'm going to start my computer

i think u have to splice the wire and connect it to the PSU. something like that. remember seeing a guide at ProCooling about it.

This is a FAQ.

1 - buy a socket plug and mount it in your case.
2 - wire the socket plug to your PSU socket plug - yes unplug your PSU before...
3 - on this wire, install a 12V relay triggered by the PSU (yellow wires)
4 - install a by-pass switch around the relay so you can turn on the pump 24/24 or for filling the system
5 - do not forget spike protection diodes around the relay.

Many schematics and how-to's exist around the web.
