Hello there. How you guys control your centrifugal pumps? I'm interested in using potentiometers but may be difficult to choose one without some testing with load.
Thanks!
Thanks!
If it's a DC pump you can also control it by reducing the voltage, if you have a variable voltage power supply, or by PWM using a 12V LED dimmer.
Bad idea not to sound rude but that will overheat the windings in your pump and shorten it's life dramatically, a valve is what I use.
What is a bad idea? Valve on the output, linear control, and PWM were all given the thumbs up by the rep from the company that sells my pump.
It's a DC pump. AC pumps are a different beast.
