<br>
I got a call last week to go out and look at a DC pump that had
stopped working. probably hit by lightning in our recent spate of
thunderstorms. The pump is a Dankoff 24V ETAPump. The controller
that got popped was a more recent style of controller that uses a
normal pressure switch. I replaced it with their old spare
controller, which uses a pressure switch that closes when the
pressure goes high. Luckily they still had that switch.<br>
<br>
The older style controller was cranky and had to be reset on a
regular basis, so they are looking for another controller like the
popped one. They don't seem to exist anymore. I know that Dankoff
got bought out by a bigger company (Conergy?). Is there a
controller for the old ETAPump being sold under another name? Is
there a compatible controller from another company? It seemed to
be one of those units like the Lorentz that turns 24/48 VDC into
some kind of 3-phase power. It also has a pressure switch input
and a low water input.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
