Water Change Mode

A water change often requires all flow pumps to be turned off.  Since a Mode without triggers assigned to it will cause the pumps to turn OFF completely, all we need to do is create an “empty” mode.

A Water Change mode comes preconfigured with your WaveEngine but if you need to recreate it, here is how to do it:

Step 1: Create Water Change Mode

  • Go to the Main Menu and select MODES.
  • Tap on the + symbol on the bottom right and create a new mode called “Water Change.”

Step 2: Configure Water Change Mode

  • INPUT VOLTAGE – Leave the voltage at a negative one (-1).
    TIP: If activating via 0-10v Input (MODE CONTROL INPUT enabled), set the voltage number to match the one incoming from your 3rd party controller.
  • MODE TIMEOUT –  Set it to 00:00:00, so it runs until manually disabled.
  • EXIT DELAY – Set this to 2 minutes to allow the return pump to fill the tank back up before the flow pumps turn back ON.
  • LED COLOR –  Set it to your personal preference.

Don’t forget to save your changes!

Step 3: Activate Water Change Mode

  • Go to the Status Screen and tap on the Mode at the top.  You will be able to select Water Change Mode from the list.
