Wolfcream23 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 so just like the title... how? because by using heavy wires my build became all janked up ugly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abud Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Use battery on your circuit with aquatuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either need Heavi-Watt, or Conductive Wire with a transformer and that works best with a smart battery. Using normal wire will load the circuit and cause damage continuously.

KittenIsAGeek Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Here's some screenshots from my current base doing exactly that... Spoiler Two aquatuners in a cooling pool without using heavy wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcream23 Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 what?! i didn't know conductive wires can hold 2kw, welp i guess we learn something new everyday... EDIT: just checked the wiki, i feel dumb now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenIsAGeek Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Make sure you have a battery on the aquatuner side -- its 1200 watt draw means that the transformer doesn't hold enough power to get the aquatuner started without a battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: just checked the wiki, i feel dumb now Now I feel dumb too, for jumping the gun by thinking your problem is transformer vs aquatuner so you ended up using heavy wires directly.

Miravlix Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I just use two transformers to supply one conductive wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenIsAGeek Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 That can work too, but a smart battery lets you also turn off the transformer when it isn't being used -- save on heat production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
