can I run a 20amp pump & a 10amp pump totaling 30 amps between only 2 plugs or is it 10,10,&10 split 3 ways. thanks bob

The real limit is the circuit breaker. The cord itself doesn't measure the load coming from each 20 amp outlet on the cord. So yes, you can split the load 20/10 safely which doesn't exceed the load limit of the circuit breaker.

I don't recall if the female is a 20amp receptacle or a 15amp. To answer the question yes you can run 20amp and 10 amp to make the 30amp. I think though that the female receptacles are only 15amp.

if you are running 2 100's already then you are either running series or parallel then just connect positive and negative this unit claims to be able to handle 30 amps and 150 volts, unfortunately the unit I got crapped out on day 3 it took some time but sainstore says they are sending me a new one hope the new on holds on.

sounds like three pumps you want to operate independently. This has three timed switches, so it should work great.

If you are intending to run 30 amps continuously then I would agree the wiring may be a little small. You could remove the spade contacts from the connector, carefully open the crimps securing the wire to the contact and recrimp/solder your 10 gauge wires to it. The relay should be good for 30 amps.

No, it is not a 3 prong 30 amp plug. It is a 20 amp, 220 volt, 3 prong plug. You feed the circuit with 12-2 wire.

You can set the pump to either 115 or 230 You can make the change by removing the back housing Mine ran on 230 which I think was perset If it trips the breaker at 115 you either have a fault or the breaker is to low It should be a 25 amp The motor does draw a good amount of power

Yes... I guess, but it is way over kill. You will only be able to use 1---and even that will be a bit too much current. Theye did work great for the price... but I think it could cause too strong current in a 10 Gal.

It is recommended to wire direct with 10 gauge wire, with 30 amp breaker. If you were to wire a plug in pig tail for an outlet, it would most likely trip the standard 20 amp or 15 amp breaker. It would also decrease the heated water performance of the heater. This unit did not work well for me at my kitchen sink because even with the correct wire gauge and connections, it had to have the low flow restrictor on the fixture to just achieve luke warm water. I went to a 2 Gallon tank point of use heater. It works great with no flow restriction and gets very hot if you set the temp setting higher. It the Reliance brand.

I would ensure that your power supply will support 10 amps. The unit runs around 6 amps but the start up is more like 10amps. Hope this helpful. Great valve for the price.

You can absolutely use only one side at a time. You simply plug the port for the unused side a pump away.

If I understand your question, you're asking if you can run two amps in series. The answer to that would be no as excessive input into the second one would cause distortion. Based on the wording of your question, I'm just not sure what you're trying to achieve.

You can't use 10/3 wire with a 40 amp breaker. You can only use it with a 30 amp breaker. You would need to use 8/3 wire with a 40 amp breaker. (You can use bigger wire with a smaller breaker, but not a smaller breaker with bigger wire.)

A 20 amp plug will work on 14awg and a 15amp breaker but will be a code violation. It also will not output 20 amps. To be compliant it would need 12awg and a 20amp breaker.

Does it mess that the total output is 30 amp. Like I can run a 20 amp product & a 10 amp product this totals to 30 amps safely. Thanks bob

I'm using it with what I believe is referred to as a two wire pump. It is 240V, switches just the two 240v leads (black and white), has ground screws and has no provision for a third wire. One thing about the low pressure cut out switch on this. It may have already saved my pump. We have some kind of problem developing where the pump is not able to keep up with the flow. The switch tripped a few times then stopped when the condion seemed to have righted itself. The only negative there, not much of one, is that the swich to restart the pump is a little tricky if it trips. You have to find the sweet spot where it engages. In my setup I can here it start to flow so it's not a problem for me. I'm using it with what I believe is referred to as a two wire pump.

As far as I'm aware you need to know if you want a 15 or 20amp outlet. My understanding is 15 amp is more common. Check that the unit is not close to a sink or any other water source as then you would need a different type of outlet. Otherwise I followed instructions from a YouTube video and found it very straight forward.
