Not so much a poll on circulation pump preference, but more on how you choose to program them. This will obviously be dependent on the pump brand you are using and/or the use of a controller. I'm curious if you simply use one of the manufacturers "canned" programs or do you program them yourself?

Feel free to discuss your methods in the thread and if you're willing, go ahead an share your programming. It may help others who are trying to figure out their flow.

I am using the canned program on my gyres right now. I prefer the flows to change more often than you can program into a controller. Right now, my feeling is that all of the controllers on the market cannot hold enough custom setpoints to create the variation I would like throughout a day.

I use the programmed ones on the gyres & the smaller jebao's for the 75. They wik finwe I guess. Not knowledgeable enough to say really. Also fancy programming hangs me up anyway.

I use the pre-programmed modes on my MP10's. they probably wouldn't work anymore if i tried to custom program them myself ;Hilarious

I used the advanced programming on the gyre controller to control my two 230's
