I dont think there is a way without a controller of some sort. The wires are 24v+, negative, and pwm (speed control) signal.

The power supply is just converting AC to 24VDC.

I have one connected to an arduino giving a pwm signal for ramp up/down.

I just had my power supply replaced under warranty on one of my pumps. Showed up very fast. I think its a one year warranty.

yeah my supply is still ok as far as i know. bummer i can't connect the pump directly to it. i had a good laugh at the sticker on the brick warning me to not open the supply. my supply literally FELL open when i picked it up. i never removed screws or anything lol.

its possible it is your power supply. Mine had the green light on and when turned up on the control pad the light would go out briefly and then back on. It also made a buzzing noise when loaded up.

If you run any kind of controller you can just order the jebao cable from reef angel and run the regular power supply and have the apex or whatever controller you have tell it to be on or off.

Hey Brett I had the same issue with a Waveline 12000, I switched out the power supply and its all good now.

Thanks guys. Refuse to spend more money to get this POS working again. I'll be just as happy to go smash it in an alley for all the headaches it gave me =)
