    eb832 outlets all the same load or ?

    Looking at the new eb832 on my recently purchased Apex 2016... upgraded from classic,, I do not see that any of the outlets carry or are made for a heavier load. Is that correct.. I note it comes pre suggested for pumps ect.. but I am changing those to suit my needs..

    So does matter what outlet I use for my return pump Iwaki RLT100.. heavy load.. abou 400 watts.
    My Heater is a 500 Watts..

    Currently my return pump is a outlet 4 and heater is outlet 8 ..

    I note that 1-3 and 5-7 are like grouped together.

    thanks

    Unlike the older EB8 with their 1-3 and 4-7 being Triac and 4&8 relay, the new EB832 uses relay on all 8 outlets. I would assume 4&8 are farther right to allow more room for a transformer style plug, aka... A Wall Wart.
    Neptune pre-programmed the outlets as a quick start for new users.

    The outlets of an EB832 are evenly spaced; the appearance that outlets 4 & 8 are offset is a visual illusion.

    All 8 EB832 outlets are the same: rated for 7 Amps/840 watts.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    Just a quick clarification on the post by Russ above. 840 watts is ideal circumstances with a purely resistive load. Amps are what really matters. Your heater will be fine, and your pump should be too, but check the amps reading first and tack on about 10-20% as a safety margin as this can go up when/if your house voltage goes up within utility bounds.

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

    thanks .. heater using 3.8 amps.. pump using 3.5 so that should be good to go.
