Thanks! I've got the Neptune Apex.

The label on the chiller is in an awkward place (where I have the chiller installed, anyway). According to the website it is 5 amps.

I am so glad that you explained "Histerersis" for me. I saw the word, couldn't figure out what it meant from the context, and then meant to look it up but forgot. I will fix that.

Edit: I must have read "histerersis" in relation to something else, as that isn't a field under the heater control. I've only got min/max settings.

Most powerbars have 8 amp relays so you will be good, just remember that you can't exceed 13 amps on a powerbar or you will start to overload the houses circuit.
A dedicated outlet is 15 amp. but you should only load a circuit to 85% of its rated capacity, 13 amps.

Cool.

The two relay outlets are 10 amps. The others are 5. The total amperage use (according to the display) is <3 amps when everything but the chiller is on. I should be good.
