Coral Hind August 16, 2012 August 16, 2012 I've had heaters and pumps plugged into my DC8's pop my GFCI a couple of times, the main problem that I have had is that when the GFCI pops the A level DC8 went off with the loss of power. I had redundancy on the B level DC8 with circulation pumps, heater, and other things, problem was that when the A level went out my ACIII lost contact with the B level DC8 so it wasn't controlling anything, luckily my CO2 was off when the power connection broke so I knew something was wrong when I got a PH alert from my ACIII. I've thought about moving one of my heaters to a Ranco controller seperate from my ACIII just in case I lose power to the DC8 again. Was the ACIII controller plugged into the same circuit as the A unit so they lost power together? If so you should have it setup so it sends you a power outage alert when it loses power. You will want to have a battery on the unit to it can send out the message. You have to assign an outlet to ALM, then add this to the program. You should get the text/email within seconds of the power going off. If Power 000 Then ALM ON
