Power needs for dual Jebao WP-25 as controlled by Apex

[krisjoseph]

Hi there,

I've searched for an answer to this question but haven't had luck, so I apologize if this is obvious!

I bought a set of Jebao WP-25 -- the setup that comes with two pumps and one dual controller. It came with one power supply, which looks like a DC 24V, max 2A supply.

I ALSO have the Jebao-to-Apex harness cable that people commonly DIY/buy. The cable has two connectors for the pumps, and TWO connectors for power. :squigglemouth:

Obviously I need TWO power supplies... but what supplies do I use? Should I find another universal 24V supply, or is each pump using only 12V?

Jebao's web site is low on info and I'm clueless. Any help would be appreciated!

Each pump is 24 volts so you need another 24 volt power supply. OR.. get your wire cutters and crimpers out and wire them up in parallel. That is essentially what the dual controller does. it splits it out to 24 volts for each pump.

Thanks for that!

I couldn't find a 24V in my area -- best I could do was 22V. And when I hooked it up I couldn't get the controller to drive either of them... until I turned the OTHER power supply down to 22V as well.

Both pumps are now working perfectly!
