2 Gyres with 1 controller and 2 battery backups

[Actuarious]

So I thought I could figure this out, but it seems I need a little help. I got the XF230 with controller and a second XF230 pump only. I also have 2 battery backups, one for each pump. I am having a difficult time trying to piece it all together. Does anyone have a similar setup? How does it all fit together?

I would think that you need to link the BBs as one unit, then to the controller vs to each pump.

Here's a diagram to daisy-chain two Icecap battery back ups, if it helps. I have mine set up like you are trying to do. You could run both pumps this way through the controller, but I set the gyre controller to only run one pump at 30% in battery mode to extend my time even further. All you need is water movement in case of an outage. I have run gyres for almost 20 hours this way - could have gone longer.

Thanks, this helps. I thought there was a way to have each pump with their own backup. How do you set only one pump to run 30%?

Press both buttons on the gyre controller simultaneously and it will go to the battery power settings. If you want both to run while on battery you can set it there.
