Can you use Jebao RW-4 without controller?

Just a quick question, can you use the RW-4 powerhead without the controller?

You can, but you need some way to supply 24v power and voltage to the pwm input. It will not be as useful without a controller.

Thanks for the reply! So you cant just connect the pump directly to the included power supply?

That is correct. Simply connecting 24v power supply alone will not make the pump run.
Perhaps your question can be better answered if you describe what you are trying to do.

Why do you need to?

Controller broken? I have one I'll send you if you want.
