Redsea Ato - extension

[reefkeep]

Anyone know of a place to order an extension cable for the Redsea pump? I need it 12 feed away from the cont. Of course the cord is too short.

You might need to hit up Red sea to confirm but you might be able to get away with something similar like this https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/reefwave-25-45-pump-extension-cable-2m-79-red-sea/ - not sure if there is an official 'product' for this yet

From the Red Sea FAQ page:
"Red Sea does not currently offer an extension cable for the pump. If you do need to extend the cable pay attention to the polarity of the wires. Locating the reservoir far from the sump will significantly reduce pump flow rates."

I only need about 3 more feet!
Does the ReefWave extension cable work?
Any other known solutions?

Well, I got some 22 gauge 2 conductor electrical wire, soldered in an extension, and it works like a charm!

Here's what I used:
22 Gauge 2 Conductor Electrical Wire 22AWG Electrical Wire Stranded PVC Cord Oxygen-Free Copper Cable 16.4FT/5M Flexible Low Voltage LED Cable for LED Strips Lamps Lighting Automotive(22/2AWG-16.4FT) https://a.co/d/04kKfw9
