Hello,

When a Vortech Pump is in Sync or AntiSync mode using the Apex (wxm) interface what does the intensity setting refer to? For example in Sync Mode if it's set at 100 intensity does that mean it will be 100% match to the master pump or will it be 100% true intensity? For that same example let's assume the master pump is set to 50% constant speed. So will the 100% equal 50% speed resulting in a match or will the master be at 50% and the slave at 100%. Hope that makes sense.

In sync or anti-sync if you set it to 100% then it matches the master pump, so if the master pump is 50 it will be 50

I had the same question... from what i gathered leepink is correct. I have my sync set at 100% from time 00:00 to 23:59, so its a straight line at 100% for the day!

What about pumps on the back wall running eco back? Would they need to be at 100% to match the masters flow? I have two Mp 60s one on each end. And two Mp40s on the back wall. Right now I just copied the masters schedule to the backs running on eco flow.

I have two of my MP60 set up as master/slave. The latter is set to antisync at 80%. So when the master pump is in a variable mode at say 60%, the slave is at 32% (40*80=32). My remaining two MP60 and one MP40 I just run independently in reefcrest.
