The reason for the two inputs is redundancy technically.
the idea behind it is that you use a separate pump and timer for each input, that way if you ever have an issue with one of your pumps or timers the second, redundant, timer and pump will still work, so you won’t loose your plants.
Basically it’s just to cover your ass in case of an equipment issue. ...and they do happen a lot more than some people may thing, especially if they’re just starting out their growing career.
I’ve been growing almost 30 years now amd I can’t tell you how many equipment failures I’ve had in that time.
Fuck, I just had two fans shit the bed in the past 2-3 weeks and neither of them were a month old. One was just a cheap Amazon 2 for $25 deal that I got to help keep my es300 led cool. The other was a $50 Oscillating 6” grow tent pole fan from Growbuds. It’s crazy, it doesn’t matter if it’s cheap or expensive equipment, any of it can shit the bed at any time and, as a grower, you need to be aware of the possibility and plan for it, or you may very well end up loosing your whole crop one day due to an equipment failure. Good growers think and act proactively.
