So I am having some kind of flow issue with this pump. I purchased brand new to use on my manifold that is connected to a UV sterilizer and an Arid N24.
When I first started it up and for about 2 weeks, I was getting 400 GPH out of UV and about 190 out of Arid. Pump set to about 70% power on Mobius. I have apex flow meters on the returns to measure flow.
One day I lose power and now I put all the settings on the pump as before and I am struggling to get over 300 on UV and 160 on Arid. I actually just bumped up the pump to 95% and I am still only at 302 for UV and 166 on Arid. This pump can definitely push more am I doing something wrong?
Thank you
 
Can you post pictures of the manifold you made and also state which size plumbing you used. That is very important. It's bizarre that you got the big drop. Maybe you sucked in something on valute during power outage?

Did you dissassemble and take a look?
