Apex and M2 Return Power Struggle

[Fishguy_8]

I’ve attached the power consumption for my ecotech m2 return pump, and the coding written for it. Did I screw something up? I just moved it to the apex and I’m seeing these power consumption falling off a cliff and raising the dump water level. Thankfully it’s not flooding my skimmer, apparently I set the fluid monitor up right lol. Any help or tips is much appreciated.

Unless you have a mxm you pump actual speed controlled by Mobius not apex. All you are doing with that code is physically turning it in and off. What color on the control. Log in to Mobius make sure your pump is set to constant and that it’s sets to the same run percent all day and that it’s not set to lower speeds at certain times of the day.

It’s set to constant (green)24hrs a day to the same rate as well. The pump is a year old roughly so given the power dropping like that, does that mean my pump is potentially failing?

If the white intensity lights on the controller are always the same and don’t throttle down when the voltage drops then I would shift focus to cleaning the pump. Personally clean my L2s every 6 months. If the light are scaling down then your controller is not really in full constant and I would go in the app changed the setting and then undo and resave again just to reset it

Ok I’ll try that when I get home. The power is being dropped. I cleaned it yesterday when I noticed this was happening thinking it could be gummed up. While it was due for a cleaning, it doesn’t seem to have done the trick.
