just turned my vortech mp40w off at the mains and disconnected the pump from the glass so i could clean the glass properly. Connected everything back up and now the conntroller is flashing green and the pump is running very slowwwwwwwwww

Any ideas????

Thanks

Would it go straite into feed mode from powering up??

Is there any way of cancelling feeding mode if thats what it could be.
Ill leave it running for 10 mins and see!

Feed mode is a white pulsing light, have you had the wetside apart?

Have you tried recalibrating it? if you look on the ecosmart website there is a video on how to do this

yep flashing white is feed mode. the only time I have heard off it flashing green, has something to do with the firmware on the wave driver

in the manual theres something about holding buttons down to reset the firmware i think they should have details on the manufactorers site
