E-Chen 200 series ro pump

Hi, 

i've just fitted a new echen 200 series ro  pump and i was wondering how long can you leave the pump on for before having to turn it off?

thanks, Kevin

This pump is NOT designed for 24/7 continuous operation, and should be rested for 10 to 15 minutes every 5 to 6 hours

Hi , thanks for reply..

I was under the impression it could only be used for an hour at a time? so I can leave it on for 5 to 6 hours really ?

A friend uses one and he has his on one of those mechanical timers.

He runs his for a period and then it switches the pump off for 15 minutes. I can't remember how long the period is but for you it would depend much on ambient temperature. If its in a hot shed in summer then the on time needs to be short whereas the on time in the same shed in winter can be much longer.

thanks for the input, much appreciated
