Hey guys,
I understand how Stream groups and pumps are assigned, etc.
HOWEVER
I currently have 4 pumps.
I want to set one up on it's own cycle with a sine wave - easy as I'll put it into it's own Stream group and it can do it's thing.
I want the other 3 to work as a group - Pumps 1 & 2 on the same sine wave and Pump 3 in total opposite to 1&2. Cant his be done? (reason being 1&2 will push water 1 way, Pump 3 will push it the other).
Thanks in advance.

I was on my way to say that it was impossible - but I did a "dry" test in GCC. If I first configure stream group 1 this way

After that - I simply add pump 2 into the stream group

I got this - expected

After that I add pump 3 to the same stream group - got this - not expected

It seems like it could be done but I do not understand how

Legendary - Thanks @Lasse

I "suspect" it's to do with the order and the fact the group is permanent opposite (so as you add a pump, it's opposite to the last added pump).

Anyway, does exactly what I wanted - Thanks
