I've a MP40 and MP10 in the tank, usually on reefcrest or nutrient transport mode, at 65%. For the longest time there was a good amount of flow although I think the pumps take themselves into a "sleep mode", as the flow will be quite low, only return to normal when I open the app and change the Mode... from there, flow starts like I expect it to although when the app closes...back to sleepy flow.

Any ideas?

At one time, 70% flow rate was too much, now it doesn't seem to be enough, unless I open the app.

Thanks !
 
Regularly, it's not a issue of lost flow due to maint, more, when low flow, then I open the app select Edit, click on the left bar, and it goes back to normal flow. Close the app, and it slows down.

The MP40 is Parent, MP10 child, and blue wifi light is illuminating so they are sync'd.
