can i plug an extension cord into my apex?

[LowLi]

If i wanna control 2 wavemakers. can i plug an extension cord with two outlets to the apex?
so when i hit feed mode it turns off the outlet turning off both pumps.

yes you can. As long as you don't go over the amp rating for the outlet you are ok. Two pumps shouldn't come close to that.

agreed, i do this with multiple items like my two fans on the sump.

You can, not sure I would recommend it though. Extension cords are not a substitute for fixed outlets.

FWIW, I currently have six power bars, most of which are in my basement. I'll bet that I have more than 50 feet, in total, of extension cords attached to them. Somehow the power bars are never close enough to where I need them to be...

Yeah - power outlets never seem to be in the right place, right? I probably shouldn't have replied to the thread. Its one of those bad habits due to a prior life. Explosive and ground safety. The whole OSHA thing...
