    How Many Cor 15's Can you connect to 832

    I thought I remembered reading somewhere that there is a limit on what can be connected to the 832 1Link Ports.

    Would I be able to connect two COR 15 return Pumps AND the Dos all via 1Link ports all on the same 832?

    The limit is 100W so two COR and a DOS is fine as far as that is concerned. There is however one little nuisance you want to be cognizant of. It has been found that a stalled pump of sufficiently high wattage (cor15, PMUP) and the total wattage on the power supply is high (close to 100W normally) can in some cases cause enough voltage drop (or possibly overcurrent protection in the device, haven't tested which) to prevent other items on the 1link from being able to operate while the stall exists. If this is a scenario where you are using two cor15 to create redundancy, I would seriously consider using a cor20 as primary and a cor15 as a backup, getting two cor20 instead, buying another 1link, or splitting the pumps between an EB832 and a 1link. This would make a truly redundant system and limit any single point of failure.

    I currently run 3 WAV's on one 832. I am thinking of adding another 832 along with two COR15 pumps. Would I run the same risk if I split the CORs on the two 832s? Keeping in mind that one 832 would have two WAVs and a COR.

    That would still apply whether its 832 or 1link. The decision on 832 vs 1link is more about if you need the extra outlets or not. I would put your two lightest load WAVs and one cor together and you heaviest loaded WAV, 1 cor, and DOS together. That way even if a power supply fails or you hit that stall condition under just the wrong conditions, you still have at least 1 cor and WAV running to keep flow going.
