From their site
"Long press for feed mode" In English that means hold the feed button down for a few seconds to enter feed mode

007Bond · 04/03/2014, 06:29 PM

Thanks,...I'll try it

Will these work on 3/4" glass?

So...what turned out to be the problem?

Just got a WP-25 today for my 65 mixed reef. Man, the flow is amazing! This threads (and a couple others here) helped me pull the trigger. Thanks!

Anyone noticing noise from theirs? On Else mode, I sometimes hear what sounds like a cell phone weak vibrate, on and then off, etc etc. Pretty distracting when it does it, which is not all the time. Thoughts?

How old (or I should say new) is your pump.
There is a slight vibration noise in the beginning, but it goes away in a couple of weeks or so.

Brand new. Other that this faint intermittent buzzing it's basically silent. Running in a 175g tank. Thanks!

Sacohen · 04/20/2014, 03:21 PM

The buzzing should disappear in a month at the most.

OK, so I am not alone in this then? I can live with it for the short term in that case. Thanks!

Sacohen · 04/21/2014, 04:28 AM

No I think everyone had it.
It sounded like it was playing a song on certain settings.

Icefyres · 04/21/2014, 05:46 AM

Indeed it will most likely go away after a few weeks. Also it will most likely return for a couple of days when you clean them.

Sacohen · 04/21/2014, 07:07 AM

I don't recall it coming back on mine.

delmo · 04/21/2014, 05:04 PM

Don`t know if its been mentioned, but Digital Aquatics has a Jebao module coming out that plugs into their APC module. its on their FB page.
I`ve had WP40 on my 90gal for about 4 months and I`ve never heard it make sound. It`s on low making a 1" rocking wave.
They also sent me 2 when I ordered 1 and said to keep it, so I already have a backup

My MP40 is the noisy one.
I imagine Vortechs pricing should be in half this time next year.

One of my 40's stopped working after about 1 year. The other sounds like a box of rocks! My tank is otherwise super quiet as I have a basement equipment room. This makes the sound super obvious but... I'm not convinces these are all that. Don't get me wrong, vortech and the like need to come up with a quiet, reliable, cost effective alternative. Who can afford $1000 for water movement. But the coral I lost without the h20 movement sucked.

We got a 48" 150, not sure of the exact thickness but the glass is dang thing FWIW....
just got our pumps today; no problem with placement HTH

NeverlosT · 04/28/2014, 08:04 PM

well, bad news, I use two WP40s and one just died. I did some troubleshooting and it isnt the controller, and it isnt the power supply, it is the wet end. Been running about 3 months. I disassembled, soaked in vinegar, reassembled, nothing. no pulse.

Any ideas beyond bugging the vendor I got it from who is 3.5 hours away??

Sacohen · 04/29/2014, 07:03 AM

Hook a meter up to the output of the controller and make sure it is putting out the proper voltage.

No typically it does not. I have a WP60 and bought magnets from applied industries...works well.

Furballnow · 04/29/2014, 04:46 PM

My Wp 40 sticks to my 500gal pane.

rocride · 04/29/2014, 05:49 PM

just ordered 2 FS14000 and the twin controller...they will be goin in a 54"x24"x22 high system

can't wait!

kentuckyclowns · 05/01/2014, 07:01 AM

I'm not sure if I'm right or not but after looking into the Digital Aquatics "solution"/module, it looks like you have to have both the APC module and their new DC1 (not yet released). I sent an email to double check this but if that's true and you are like me and don't have either the APC or the DC1, it will run you $190 plus tax and shipping to be able to control the WP pumps! I have an email out to DA now to confirm. I hope I'm wrong but if I'm right then who in their right mind would do that? At that price buy a vortech...completely defeats the purpose of buying the WP pumps to begin with. If anyone on here has any additional info or can correct me if I'm wrong, please let me know.

You are correct. There face book page mentioned a package price of $179.99 For both the APC and DC1. But for that price I can buy another twin controller PLUS 2 more Pumps.

I was really hoping the price point would be better. Would make sense for anyone that already has an APC. But otherwise it's pretty pricey

kentuckyclowns · 05/01/2014, 07:58 AM

Wow...that's bad. I was hoping I was wrong but that's pretty disappointing. After my bad experience with the release of the SL2 and salinity probe issues and the horribly difficult Net Module, this is probably my last straw with DA. Reading on here where competitors are pricing out $25 wire harnesses and they are charging $180!!....crazy...sad day but looks like I will be researching a new controller!
