Ecotech feed mode

[Waters]

Is there a way to disable the feed mode on the Vectra? I recently switched from the Neptune Wavs to MP40s and was surprised to find out that when I enter feed mode on one of the Vortechs, all three pumps enter feed mode, including my return pump....which I don't want. If it matters, I am using ecosmartlive, not Mobius.

I don't know if you can disable it or not but if you don't ever want that feature handy on your Vectra you can recalibrate your pump. When you set your low flow setting just set it one level below your regular rate. When it enters feed mode it should drop down to the "Low" setting which you have adjusted to slightly slower than your regular rate. Therefor keeping the flow darn close in feed mode, which will kick back up to regular when feed mode is done...

Thanks..... that is a good idea if that is my only option. I will have to test to see if it keeps the sump water level close to its' normal levels. The issue I am running into is the sump shuts off, the water level raises, my ATO high water alarm goes off, and my skimmer overflows lol. I wonder if I could set my low rate to be the same as my normal rate........

I've never tried it so I'm not too sure, but worth a shot. I'd be willing to bet depending on where your too high alarm is on your ATO going one notch below wouldn't cause any of those issues but hard to know for sure until you try it out
