My return pump (OctoVarios8) has started behaving strangely: turning itself on and off sometimes by the second. It does this only on AUTO. Override ON or OFF behaves normally. Any ideas?

I have four circulating pumps, one in each corner. I'm trying to set up the Four Square Pattern so the pumps run in a circular pattern. So one pump on, the others off, then the next pump clockwise on, the others off, etc. etc. I can't figure out how to set the pump positions (front, back...

I have a simple doser set up to dose ALK late at night. But sometimes I want to skip a night or two, so I set the doser output to OFF OVERRIDE manually. But according to the log, the schedule seems to keep operating every night. Is OFF OVERRIDE on the output supposed to stop the dosing...

I have a pressure booster pump on my RO/DI dual RO membrane system. It pumps water through the RO/DI filters into a reservoir with a float valve for use as an ATO system. The booster pump automatically starts when the float valve is down and automatically stops when the float is up. Very...

Hi. The VarioS Pump Controller Float Switch 6.7ft (Skimmer Pump) has been out of stock since dinosaurs roamed the earth. But the VarioS Pump Controller Float Switch for (Water Pump). (clever of Reef Octopus to make them not interchangeable. Does anyone know how to use pin assignments to...

I know the latest firmware update "forgot" the reservoir settings, but I've had similar problems in the past. Once after a previous firmware update, two of my outputs went crazy, switching from OFF to AUTO or ON all by themselves. Since one of them was an ATO, my tank nearly flooded. Today...

Hi, I have a simple doser output set to dose 30ml. to run on a schedule every night 23:00-23:15. It runs correctly. But the running does not show up on the log page under the appropriate output. The only simple doser output that shows up on the log page is when I do a manual dose. Am I doing...

Hi, I have a float switch and a sump light connected to my ControlX4 0-10v outputs 1 and 2. They work perfectly. But when I look under Devices for the X4, it reports that all the 0-10v outputs are Unused. Not a big deal, just wonder why it happens that way.

This evening my web app suddenly asked me to log in. I did. It logged me in. Then I got "Unable to Connect." Nothing has changed in my setup. I have: - rebooted access point - rebooted main router - tried up upload changes (failed) - rebooted my computer - hit the reload button on my browser...

I have my 24v devices all plugged into a WaveEngine and my 120v devices (return pump, skimmer) plugged into a Control XP8. They are connected in a collective. Both are externally powered. And both are plugged into an APC Battery Backup. In case of a power failure, at full draw, the APC will...

How about some rheostat-like slider outpuur that would show up on the status page and allow for easy changing the speed on pumps, skimmers, etc.

Sorry for what is probably a dumb question, but when setting cycle durations, what do the columns mean? So do I have a one minute cycle? It's the last .000 column that confuses me. Thanks.

My RO/DI reservoir has a float valve and automatically refills. It has a longish tubing to the tank area, where a dosing pump pulls the water from the reservoir as needed. I would like to use a leak detector under my aquarium where the dosing pump is, so if one of these lines leaks, the...

Last night all the lights on my collective (wave engine, x4, xp8) all went dark. But everything seemed to be working OK. Rebooted the collective: no joy. Unplugged/replugged: no joy. Web app couldn't make connection. Did not reboot router. Then this morning, lights were suddenly back on. All...

I have a gravity feed ATO system and need a safety solenoid. So if my 1/4" RO/DI tube leaks, and my leak detector detects it, I want to be able to shut off the tube. I would use the Hydros solenoid but don't have a free drive port. Is there a third-party solenoid setup I could use in...

So I'm trying to add my new xp8. I see it on the app, but when I select it to add/register it, I get the strange message: "There can be only one! My spidey senses that the email address you've entered does not match the one registered to this device." I'm trying to add the device so...

It would be nice if the web page app had the same functionality as the phone app, specifically the ability to add new devices.

Can anybody tell me why my kalk ato fill output is not working? I want it to come on when pH is between 7.5 and 8.4, AND when the float switch (Hydros optical) shows a low sump level. I can turn it on and off manually, but the auto doesn't work.

Hi, I want to create an output that activates when Ph is above 7.5 AND shuts off when Ph hits 8.4 AND only activates when the float switch is Dry. I'm confused by the option "Active When Input 1" is set to pH low. Does that mean the output activates at the pH low point I specified AND...

My new xp8 came with firmware 198. My other stuff in the collective is 197. Could this be the reason I'm having a hard time adding the xp8 to the collective? Breaks the collective every time. Cables, terminators properly installed. The collective (x4 and wave engine) and the xp8 both work...
