For a close loop it makes more sense but I am not a fan of 0-10v control for return pumps.If you loose power on the 0-10v channel the fun will shut down. You also have fine control using the RD3 controller vs 0-10v. .
It's a return pump for the 185. At most head pressure would be 4 feet possibly. The pump would be sitting right underneath the tank. It's either this pump or the COR which just went out to beta testers for final review.
