You don't need a Hobbs switch because the RFX replaces the need for the Hobbs switch. You do need the relay to trigger the pumps. You can use a regular automobile relay or solid state. Recommend you email Chris @ Motive and ask him for recommendations for a solid state relay and overall what your objective is and he can give you recommendations for SSRs and overall setup.Something like this? Is it required or can you trigger the pump similar to a Hobbs switch?
