So I've read that the BRS 1.1ml/min dosing pumps need to run on 4 and 8 due to their low draw. Do the ATO pumps (50ml/min) have the same issue? If yes is there anything I can do to avoid issues running one of those pumps on the TRIAC outlets? I've seen posts talking about using

These

If they work can anyone chime in. If there are other (inexpensive) alternatives I'd love to hear them. I'd like to avoid getting an EB4 at this point if I can.

Thanks!
 
Yes, I had that issue. I moved the ATO and the 1.1ml BRS doser to the 4 and 8 outlets. Luckily I have not had to worry about other hi load items that also need the 10AMPs outlets.

BTW, the "these" are not likely going to work. The BRS pump is like 1 watt, the "these" should be less than 1 watt.
