any idea how to make 5 plugs into 1?
so i use alot of water pumps in my setup, and i have 3 of these set ups,
each setup uses 5 pumps and i would like to no if theres some way i could wire each pump into 1 power station so its like this
5x pump power wires into 1 station into 1 plug
i can swap the plugs for a different kind of plug e.g. DC power plug or another type, if anyone knows of a powerstation i could use?
the pumps are no more than 8W's each, will most likely use these 2.5Ws - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Submersibl...ht_5797wt_1344
im thinking of maybe selling this product oneday so i need it to look neat and only use 1 plug per 5 pumps
any help would be really appreciated and hopefully 1day rewarded!
why can't you just plug 5 pumps into a power strip then just plug the power strip in? If you want it hardwired and are handy with tools/electricity I'm sure there's a way to disassemble the powerstrip and wire right into each power port...but I don't see the point...

Google splicing wires.
hi there, for me its not a problem, but i feel my idea is a really good one and want to make some more to attempt to sell to the shops, but the only thing holding it back is that if people want to use 15 of my product they would have 15 plugs, yeah i see your idea with disassembling the power strip but i dont no enough to make sure its safe,Originally Posted by WeedFreak78
and as for splicing wires i couldnt sell the product like that
hmmm, not sure what to do
why couldn't you sell it by splicing the wires or using wire nuts? open up any electronics and all you will see is splices wires and wire nuts.hi there, for me its not a problem, but i feel my idea is a really good one and want to make some more to attempt to sell to the shops, but the only thing holding it back is that if people want to use 15 of my product they would have 15 plugs, yeah i see your idea with disassembling the power strip but i dont no enough to make sure its safe,

oh right i didnt no if it was safe to splice wires or not, so i could simply just cut the plugs off my pumps and splice them all together with solder into just 1 plug with a bigger fuse?
im scared of selling an unsafe product and getting sued lol,
I am totally confused what the difference is from a power strip. Other than it sounds like you wish to go in a hard wired direction. But why?
Maybe I get it. You just want 5 pumps that use one plug? Yeah, I guess I could see that being useful for certain setups.
It works like a vaporizer. We'll get stoned through the vents on the way there.
just for tidyness, i dont mind having loads of plugs but if i had bought this product and had to use 1 plug for everyplant i would be disapointed, i plan to sell in packs of 5 so would be good to make 5 pumps to 1 plug
could it not be set up like a loop(like the kind) thats used when putting up ceiling lights? you could even fuse every one seperateley(it works in my head anyhoo ) but with a biger fuse a loop system would be fine .. do pumps use a lot of power? i loop my fans and its all good!!!
I am mentally incapable !! So do not, at any time listen to a word i say
I'm here for the fun of it and now't more,!!!!!!! just waiting for the apes to take over the planet that is all.............. you may be seated

i think you'll be fine. those pumps aren't drawing enough power to do anything crazy. if you splice them together and then cover them you will be fine. worst that happens is they eventually fail but that most likely won't be from the splice. talk to gastanker about it though. he has a lot more experience with that stuff than i do.
