Speedwave pump issues

[The Grizz]

The issue with these pump power supplies is they run way to hot. the only way I have been able to keep them from failing is to put fans in front of the power supply to keep the temp in the low 20*.

OK, so it's a confirmed power supply issue? If that is the case, I plan on eventually having 3 of these. And I can build a power supply to handle them, if thats the issue.

In my case it was. I cant see it being different for you. Supply works until load is put on it.

If I have more failures Im also going to just build a better 24v supply.

This is my plan too! I have 3 of these already running, and also I have 7 AI Hydras... My plan is to run a large proper switching powersupply to run everything 24V in my system, and likely save a significant amount of power due to the efficiency!

I have 7 of the DC pumps running on 2 different tanks and have had 2 power supplies do this exact thing. Wish I was more electronically in tune but since I added cooling fans I havent had an issue.......knock on wood.

I have built 24V power supplies out of a couple server power supplies. I have one for my RC Heli charging station, 24v 47A I'll see if I can find an adapter to plug into the controller and try it. JL is sending me a RMA for it tho too. But if I can get it going, I'd rather build something solid to run it and have it back, rather than wait months for it to be returned for warranty

I had mine crap out after about 6 months. Turns out it was a bad controller.
