I'm beginning to believe that perhaps Seio is right in that we should not run the pumps off other controllers that completely stop then re-start the motors - even if it's a "soft-start". If indeed, their new controllers only slow-down and speed-up the Seios they could last for (dare I say it) many, many years! I have a RedSea Wavemaster that has "soft-start" and a Chauvet timer (without SS), but I may just wait until the Seio controllers come out. It may be a case where the pumps outlast the controllers or if the controllers are well-made (unlike RedSea Wavemaster) both the pumps and controllers could give us years of trouble-free operation! Wow, just the thought!
