I'm about to jump on the Aero/NFT bandwagon after reading various journals and threads here in RIU...specifically Stinkbud's thread. I've tried using RIU's search feature but could not get an objective answer regarding the use of CAP's ART-DNe (or other manufacturer's) cycle timer and the maximum amount of pumps one can use on a single cycle timer.
From what I've read so far folks either have not had any problems running up to 5 400gph pumps on a heavy duty 15amp powre strip or regular power strips OR folks suggest using/building a relay or definite purpose contactor between the power strip and cycle timer.
I aplogize if this question has been answered but RIU's search feature did not help me and the many many excellent threads (such as Stinkbud's) have too many pages to read through thoroughly....
Thanks in advance braddahz and sistahz.

Let me also say this timer isnt exactly accurate. If you are wanting an exact interval you might want to go digital. I timed mine out to be 60sec on and 3min 47sec off. Close enough but not exact.
