Questions:
1. Am I better off using each less than 100% together? or
2. Am I better off using the Varios8 at 80% (water level steady there) and use the DC 2500 as my backup emergency pump for overflow protection only (optical float triggered)?
3. If I do either, and I have the 0-10V on the Varios8 (not the DC, it's plugged into the EB832 and can do on or off, though I do have a 1link and extra cables)...
Q: Can I setup the Varios8 to increase or decrease it's power level based on either a) sucking air or b) floats?
I have a high float (optical) in the sump that activates the second return pump if the float is closed to protect from overflow of the sump into my basement floor. It pumps the overflow into a second sump that can take the overflow.
I also have a low float (stock from Varios8) that shuts off the Varios if it gets below it. However, it's not optical and I've noticed it sticking... so I want a backup.
Q: How can I know if my Varios8 is sucking air? I have a flo meter and FMM on the output.
Finally, can I hook up an extra optical float I have to back up the Varios8 stock crap float switch.
Suggestions?
