Having a hard time locating any information on this.....

 

I have a 180 gallon with GyreXF150 and MP40QD, and a 65gallon with 1- WP10. 

 

The MP40QD has a the Ecotech battery backup. 

The XF-150 and WP10 is connected to to Icecap battery backup.

 

During a test power outage.....flow on MP40QD and WP10 is good/instant.....however the XF-150 there is about a 2-30 second start up delay and flow is extremely week flow.

 

I recall reading the pump goes to "minimal flow" or "10% flow/30% flow to conserve battery" for the xf-150 any one have any experience with this? I suppose there is not much I can do, other then give the powerhead a good cleaning and see if there is any improvement.

I'd email support at CoralVue and let Carlos answer about the Gyre pump.  I do recall that in a power outage they slow it down on purpose to conserve battery, but don't remember the details.
