I took the information directly from the fried Hunter relay that was taken from the box. The new one i got from Amazon worked perfectly. **Q: Is this compatible with for this product I'm getting a pump fault with the orbit 27896** A: I am also getting a pump relay fault with a new Orbit 57950 timer/controller. The fact that the yellow relay wires are much heavier than the 18 gauge wires of my sprinkler systems wiring runs, makes me suspect that the relay takes more amps than the controller can supply. **Q: do i have to install 15 feet away from the controller** A: I did not installed so far. In fact it is near the pump itself and also to the controller.... Running fine for mora than three years...bye **Q: At 120v how many amps is this relay rated for??** A: The literature says its rated for pumps up to 2HP at 120VAC. That works out to about 20 amps. www.theautomationstore.com/hp-vs-amps-of-120vac-1-phase-60hz-electric-motors/ ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***6 on September 10, 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***Z on May 16, 2024* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on July 2, 2025* ## Frequently Bought Together - Hunter Pump Start Relay PSR-22 - Rain Bird ESP-TM2 6 Station WiFi Ready Indoor/Outdoor Controller | TM2-6 - Rain Bird LNK2 Smart WiFi Module (2nd Generation), Compatible with TRU Rain Bird Irrigation Timers and ESP-LXIVM, ESP-ME, ESP ME3, ESP-TM2, LXME2, RZXe Controllers Made After 11/2/16 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/12810701-hunter-psr-22-pump-start-relay-double-pole-single-throw](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/12810701-hunter-psr-22-pump-start-relay-double-pole-single-throw) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
