I've got 2 xf 250s and for the life of me I can't figure out the cause of the different flow patterns. It looks like I've got the same cages and impellers installed on both, but one gyre shoots out a straight linear flow pattern and the other one shoots out in a V pattern. Is there something I'm missing? I've got it so the cages are mirroring each other and I can't figure it out.

The impellers and cages are labeled A and B. There is a section in the manual that talks about the two flow pattern options. Sounds like yours is setup as the second one. I would double check the labels on both cages and impellers to be sure. One side should be A, other should be B for default flow. Page 18 of the manual has images.

Impellers were right but the cages were swapped. All is good now.
