Slick power strip for those of you without a controller


mFrame

Recommended Posts

Or just crack open a $3.99 powerstrip and rewire 2 to be always on even if you toggle the on/off switch. :) (It's not lost on me that everyone can't do that and the Belkin might be a good choice.)

I find I need one more, though, for feeding cycle. My routine (for better or worse) is:

1. Cut skimmer and return pump; circulation pumps remain on.

2. After 15 minutes, turn on return pump.

3. After 1 hour, turn on skimmer.

I'm so looking forward to my DIY controller for this reason.

Or buy 2 $3.99 powerstrips, daisy chain them and only ever turn off the switch on the second. :cool:

power strip

has outlets that are all turned off with a single click, great for a feeding cycle.

Hmm.. the picture says the outlets turn off after 11 hours unless you press hte button when the LED blinks. Not that good of a feature ... and kinda sounds like the button on Lost :cool:
