So, I just got 2 MP40s and placed them in the back corners of a 36x48 inch peninsula. They are both facing forwards, parallel.

I would like to set up a flow pattern when one is on full and the other off, making a clockwise gyre. Then the pumps will reverse making the flow go in the opposite direction. Then they both come on and the 2 flows meet at the front and flow back down the middle.

I'd like if each of these 3 conditions were about 30 seconds or so. Or there could be 4 states where the "both on" condition occurs twice.

Anyway, looking through the various modes there doesn't seem to be anything like this. Am I overlooking something? Maybe tidal surge is closest...
 
Possible with a reeflink. Just create a custom schedule.
 
Ah, ok. So I just make an account with ecosmart live, and then the reeflink lets me connect that with the MP40s?
 
It occurs to me that if I have both running in gyre mod independently, one at a 2 minute interval and one at a 30 second interval, I'm going to get about the same result.

It wild be nice if they were 30 secs on/30 secs off, but from the manual it looks like the off is shorter than the on
