Vortech MP40W

[rpc]

For those MP40W owners, how do you select the wave modes? Is it via a input selection on the driver? Also, if the power goes out, does the wave mode you select get saved or do they go back to a default setting?

There are 2 buttons and a potentiometer on the driver. The potentiometer controls the speed of the vortech and the buttons are to cycles through the wave programs and set the wave profile.

I don't have a battery backup but I believe when the power goes out and it's running on battery, it is the same as night mode. It is a constant flow that is 50% of the max set flow.

If you cycle power and don't have a battery backup, the vortech comes back up, runs through it's boot up sequence and then resumes the previous wave profile. The preset Sleep Mode start time is not remembered. Since the driver doesn't have a power button, you have to unplug to turn the vortech off. I haven't tested for an extended period of time to see if it remembers the wave profile (usually a minute or less to move the pump around).
