    0-10v dimmer for 110v AC pump

    I am looking for a dimmer switch to reduce the voltage on my 110v AC pond pump at night. The pump will run at reduced voltage. I currently have a router controlller for it but would like to connect it to my apex and automate it.

    I don't know how you would vary speed on an AC pump from Apex. However you can use the 10V output to control a DC pump. I use the 10V output to control speed of my Reef Octopus VarioS 8 pump and it works exactly as expected. ( see http://reefoctopus.com/product/rodc-pumps-varios/ for a description of these excellent pumps).

    I need more details. Could you list the make and model?

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
