buckshot, do you have to use the controller, or is there a cheaper option??
thanks.
With the controller, the pump will run intermiently, based on the feedback from the temp probe. You can also set the thresholds manully.
If you don't have the controller, you can set the pump up to run on full blast, thus shortening the life of it, plus it cools so well, that your motor will never get to full operating temperature. This is all pure experience as my controller was dying (actually the temp probe was shorted out) and the controller defaulted to safe-full 12v mode. I installed a new controller (warantee from Davies, Craig) and everything is good now. They sent me a new controller, which included all of the wiring and the temp probe.
