Can I replace my EB832 with an EB8 or EB4?

[Maddlesrain]

My EB832 crapped out after 2 years, and I’m suspecting that getting it fixed with cost about the same as just buying a brand new unit.

The only things I plug into my energy bar are heaters (which I’ll be moving to an inkbird, my lighting, which is attached to a VDM and a tablet for monitoring my system.
I honestly don’t need all the extra outlets, and could probably get away with an EB4 if not an EB8 if either of those units will work on the newest Apex model (the 2016 version).

Would everything I’m running also work on the older energy bars?

2016 apex is fully back compatible with the EB4 and EB8 .... and with anything else that connects via aquabus.

You'll be losing the monitoring capabilities of your EB32, but everything else should not be an issue.

I run a mixture of both types on my system now....as stated, no issues.
