- Use a socket expansion box to control the device.
- Use a DC4 or DC4HD to control the device.

That said we are constantly improving our products, and always try to minimize compatibility issues.

Curt,

Other than the intial issues I had with the overdose I have been completely satisfied with my AC Jr, DC8, and DC4HD. However, I don't understand why Neptune having full knowledge of issue doesn't make note of it in the DC8 product description or instructions. There a great deal of low draw items used in this hobby and many of them particuarly dosing pumps can cause a great deal of trouble when they fail to turn off.

I guess all I want to hear is... When will you guys make note of this in your product description and instructions?

Please don't take this as a flame, its not meant to be one in any way

Thanks
