Pump Control
The iGrow offers two types of pump control. Supply pumps are used for hot or cold water temperature control
systems while peristolic pumps are used for nutrient injection systems.

Supply Pump
When you have a mixvalve type heating system, it is often necessary for the controller to manage the system
pump(s). The iGrow 1800™ can control up to 5 Pumps, each one being activated when the mixvalve tied to it
opens beyond the Minimum threshold. To “tie” a pump to a specific mixvalve you must specify, in the
mixvalve’s settings, which pump you want it to control. For more details on this see the
Programming / Mix
Valve
section of this manual.

In the example screen above, the pump will turn on when the mixvalve that it’s tied to opens at or above 5%.
Peristolic Pump
When you have a nutrient enjection system, it is often necessary for the controller to manage the system
pump(s). The iGrow 1800™ can control up to 5 Pumps, each one being activated when the corresponding
sensor passes the threshold you define below.
