Does anyone know of a timed VFD I can use to slow down my main pump while my dosing pump runs in order to give my filter feeders a chance to eat before the supplements are cycled through the system? I would like it to slow down the flow for exactly the same time the dosing pump runs.

More details, please. What type of controller are you using, and what model of pump?

The pump is a Danner model 24. I don’t have a controller. I want to be able to slow down the pump rpm temporarily while dosing. I’d like to do this with a timer so I don’t have to manually.
