gyre xf150 with icecap and apex
from time to time the gyre acts like it wants to start but it doesn't , can turn outlet off and then back on and it will do fine for a couple days and then back to acting like it is confused .
anyone else had this issue ?

I have had 2 of the smaller Gyres. I didn't use any software interface either and BOTH of my Gyres behaved exactly like yours. I ended up throwing them in the trash.

I just set up two Xf250 with Icecap on Apex on alternating mode, I had something similar to but it was the alternating wire that was not fully connected to the icecap module.
But something wired is when the flow change from forward to reverse or reverse to forward the pump just make like full stop and kick sound when it change direction.
I thought that the alternating mode will slowly stop in 2 or 3 sec and then switch slowly on to the other direction same 2 or 3 sec but this is not the case. I am curious to know if the Maxspect controller goes this way to ?

I found most problems are the bushings. if the sensor detects too much or too little pressure it goes into crazy mode.
