Basic Tunze ORCA Programming

[areefer01]

The Tunze app is complete junk. Such a frustrating experience.

It is not user friendly, that is for sure. I would encourage you to send feedback via Tunze web portal. I have reached out a couple of times now even though I get a common response of a single developer and huge backlog. I get it, I do, but at some point a company needs to add to that team for no other reason than managing RL emergencies. Backups play a larger role than just spreading out work.

Sorry to hear. I’ve had great results with it and find it quite easy to use

I was super impressed how well they made the app for the type of control this has.

You guys must not have had to add additional pumps to more than one system. Any ideas on how to reset a pump that the app has lost sight of? Pump is running on stored memory and I can’t get the app to find it.

Turn it off or unplug it.

Nope, unplugged for an hour and it just started right up with saved settings. App isn’t picking it up when I go to add new device.

Ditto. Mines got different sectors with speed adjustments, several pauses, and plenty of flow adjustments. Hasn't skipped a beat once. My only gripe is i imported an icp result and they didnt test a couple parameters so they went in as a zero and my score dropped into the 50th percentile and now I feel like a loser lol

@rvitko or anybody… any idea as to why my two Orcas randomly lose WiFi connection?

No help on why but my two do it some times. Today I had the connection going in and out while I was in the app. I was making an adjustment then a message popped up saying lost connection then it disappeared and starting allowing adjustments again without existing the app. Sometimes the app won't open correctly and I'll have to try it several times before it will open. Maybe it's just me being old but I think there is way too much going on in the app and I'd love to have something nice and simple just to set the powerheads. But such is life today, everyone wants everything on one app because it's more conveinet untill the app doesn't work properly and then nothing can be controlled. I currently use 13 apps across all tanks and don't find it to be a problem as long as each does what it should but then again I'm not so pressed for time an extra 60 seconds wasted out of my day matters

You’re not old my friend and I agree the app is not easy to work with.
