Eflux wave & return pump questions

[NormanB]

I've got 2 things going on...

1. The wave pumps in the tank are not going into feed mode when I push the Feed button on the remote. There is a pair of 6004's

2. Similar issue with the return pump (6010)...it's connected to the loop controller but it too does not go into feed mode and when connected the controller does not respond to the remote.

I'll try rebooting the system a bit later, just wanted to get your input on this.

Thoughts?

Thanks!!

Have the pumps been working before this occurrence or are they new ?
I have eflux wave makers and return but I have it hooked up to the Bluetooth controller .

I don’t have the pump but I’ve noticed my wavemakers don’t go into feed mode either. I read you needed all three. Just curious, do you have them all connected with the micro usb?

Up until the other day the wave pumps were operating as designed. They were new when I placed them in the tank a month ago.

I'd like the bluetooth controller, can you point me in the right direction? I've had no luck locating one.

Thanks

Yes, all pieces of equipment are connected with the micro usb cables.

Okay , I am not for sure what going on but I can tell you Current U.S.A.’s customer service is great! I might contact them via email and they will help you out .
Here is 3 places that sales them . I think I bought mine at aquacave last cyber Monday and got a great deal from what I remember!

The return pump hooks up to this as well? I’ve been looking at this, can’t afford it but curious for research purposes.

Ok on my remote, I pressed and held the feed button for a few seconds and both powerheads stopped. So try that?

 

[LadyMac]

And they came back in their own so I think you have to hold the feed button for maybe three or five seconds.

Are you sure that you didn’t hit the lock button on the remote? That could be causing the problem. You also want to make sure you have it pointed right at the sensor, cause those things can be finicky. Try holding the feed button down too.

When I push the feed button the blue lights scroll from left to right then about 10 minutes later go back to solid blue...indicating to me at least it is in feed mode.

But the pumps keep flowing.

 

[NormanB]

I'll try the press and hold for a few seconds and see what happens.

Thanks...great suggestions from everyone!!

Yes return pump is hooked up . I can hook up currents lights but those are entry level feed lights that will just grow softies .
I think I paid $75 for Bluetooth last cyber Monday . It’s been worth it not having to go under cabinet every time to turn off and on to feed corals and fish or tweaking flow simply by app on phone .

 

[NormanB]

No impact by holding the feed button for a few seconds. As soon as it's pressed the blue lights start scrolling left to right just as if pressed momentarily.

Another question, can I mix different eflux wave pumps on the same controller? I have 2 6004 in the tank and one in the sump and would like to change either pump 1 or 2 to a higher flow pump.

I think so
