Jeff:
As some have mentioned, noise may be an issue. Do you have access to an
oscilloscope? You can use a voltage divider to lower input voltage to

Tom. I have a couple of Ivan Labs dif controllers used with the El Sid.
Haven't done it yet but I suspect it can easily be adapted to drive AC
circ pump using a master/slave relay set up.
Extremely low idle current on the surface mount board and comes with
temp sensors.
Just a suggestion.
