So I just bought a brand new neptune DOS to add to my apex system so use exclusively for doing water changes. Right now Im setting it up to do manual water changes that would be activated by using a feed mode button.
I did all of this using the wizard provided for this via the Tasks menu. I go through the entire wizard without any problems, select and feed cycle and boom im supposed to be done.
When I hit the feed mode button to initiate a water change, nothing happens, other than I see a 45 second countdown pop up by the feed mode buttons on fusion. None of the DOS pumps activate.
Ive done retired this a few times now, with different feed mode buttons and I get the same result. Periodically my New Salt Water Pump on the DOS will kick on and run, dumping new saltwater in my sump. The Old Salt water pump does not run at all. Ive been under the impression that these pumps are supposed to run simultaneously.
So for now Ive turned both pumps to off on fusion instead of auto because I dont need saltwater intermittently getting dumped in my tank.
So whats going on? Is this a common problem? Please help, Im frustrated.
