Re: Single tier, 3 pump automated build

they should work w/ the relays. The only thing the relays are there for is routing one side of the power or signal to the valves to open and close. the BCS is what will control the relays. All you need to do is route your yellow wire to one side of the relay and the positive side from the 12vdc pow...
