Hydros and current usa Eflux plus other questions

[rockdiver]

I have been looking to purchase they controller 4 package.
I have the Current USA Eflux main pump and 2 of the Eflux powerheads.
On the website it says it connects ..... do I need a special cable if so what one and will I have full control over the pumps?
I also have the ReefBreeders Photon V2+ lights what can I do if anything with them ?Also I have the Duetto ATO
Sorry just confused on how to connect everything been reading to much and still have same questions.
Thanks !

I think there are a few things misunderstood here.

1. The Current pumps can connect to the control 4 using the current controller and plugging into the power strips.

2. The Wave Engine is a different animal. It's claim to fame is direct driving pumps. It is a controller of flow. It is not like the Control 2/4
You can't direct connect the Current pumps to the Wave Engine. If you'd like to see that capability then we would suggest you contact them. We are more than willing to work with other manufacturers to make this happen.

Here is an image showing the Current pumps in question under the Wave Engine section. If you notice there is no option selected for a direct connection. When there is the ability to direct connect one of the boxes will be blue and if you click on those it will show you what you need to connect. So as of now you cannot connect directly to the Wave Engine with Current pumps.

You can still use them with a Control 2/4 but with using their controller and plugging them into the Power Strips.

Thank you for the reply !
So I went back and looked under the list of compatible pumps, see image and I guess I just misunderstood the list to where the list was compatible if there was a icon asking to get an adapter instead of looking at the list marked compatible pumps assuming that if the pump was there it was compatible.
So with that, the control 2 and 4 how many wifi strips can hook up to 1 control 2 or 4 and exactly what cables do I need for that (wifi strips) Since it seems that I will only be able to use the wifi strips. I have 3 pumps, ato, heater, 2 LED lights, Regal 150 INT skimmer with a variouS pump so thats 8 plugs right there = 2 wifi strips plus i still have all the power bricks for them plugs minus the ato. What would the wifi strips provide to me? Control over on and off plus commands to turn off/on things if something out of my parameters happen ? and I would also like to add the flood control rope to the mix.
Just confused on what exactly I need and what the investment would do.
Thanks

Sorry forgot to add that. Because you addressed the wave engine

You can hook up a total of 8 wifi power strips per control device.

So if you bought a control 4 then you could have 8 wifi strips for a total of 32 outlets.

Now if you added a control 2 this would allow you another 8 power strips.... Yes another 32 outlets.

If you'd like even more information you can send in a ticket and I can give you even more information , head over to www.coralvue.com/support and submit a ticket. Likewise, you can email us directly at [email protected]. One of the reps will be able to help you efficiently. Thank you!

You are very welcome! Anytime!

On the current USA. It has the pin connector that would allow it to connect to the WE. I’m scared to test it since I don’t have an extra pump here but if I did I would try it lol.
