Ice Cap 2K Gyre - Not working

[ReefingRookie]

Just purchased my ice cap gyre and placed in the aquarium. Fiddled with the feed mode and back to normal mode and the pump will no longer pump water. It is on and connected but does not pump water no matter what i try. Anyone with help possibly?

Assure the rubber ends are not seized and the inner impellers move freely

It’s a brand new unit, was working for 10minutes and then stopped. I checked anyways and everything is fine.

I bought 4 Ice Cap gyres (2-4k & 2-2k) with controllers. Worst purchase I ever made. They have never run properly. Waste of hard earned money

Have there been any talk of new improved designs for gyres? I really want to use them, they are a great concept, but issues make them a hassle compared to a normal powerhead.

Try resetting it. I’ve been having problems with mine in firmware 192, if it prompts you to update don’t. 190 works way better.

When it is powered up and not running, what lights are showing on the controller?

So i was able to figure out how to get the pumps to work. I had to add an “input” so i can manually trigger the pump to work at the lowest setting. I am still unsure how to program a proper schedule that works automatically as when i click on “Auto” on the input, it goes straight to 0

I’m sorry to hear :/

I was able to get the gyre to work, but am having trouble getting a schedule to work automatically. Only pumps when input is set to manual.

unfortunately it was too late, it just had me forcefully update

They’re very finicky but i am genuinely enjoying the flow it provides, maybe a little to heavy and even picks up my sand bed in some spots in the bottom corners
