I'm currently trying to plan out my 180 system build. I'm a bit confused and I have the following questions

My basic set up will be a 180 RR upstairs in my family room, sump will be in the basement space adjacent.

I would like to have the AC3 upstairs to control the lighting etc w/ the DC8 upstairs.

Can I connect a DC4HD to the DC8? DC4HD would control the return pump (panworld 100px) and a couple of other items in the basement. Would I be able to get away with a DC8 for the panworld pump? It is spec'd at 120W @ 120V.

My next question is about the phone line connection between devices. The manuals state that the distance between devices should be no more than 10 feet. Is this a hard limit or is there some wiggle room here?

Thanks

I have found if you use CAT5 wire and make your own wires, you can go much longer distances...
