Anyone Running An Apex Dos?

Thanks, Cliff - I set up an auto water change process with my DOS about 3 weeks ago. It worked perfectly!
But last week I noticed that both pumps stopped working.
I have checked the power, no problem.
The silicone tubing I was using to pull old salt water out was crimped at the rim of the sump. I fixed that.
The orange lights come on periodically bit if I press the pump button(s) on the front of the unit, the lights turn blue and the pumps don't work.
It seems odd that both pumps (brand new) would stop working at the same time. I'm hoping it's just something I've done....
Any ideas?
Michelle

try plugging it directly into a rec, not eb8, and see if it runs

 

[Cliff]

Yes. And to stop the suction hose collapsing I used ridged ro line on the suction side
Can u post your programming for us?

Thanks for the advice guys...
I'll work on it tomorrow and post results.

I plugged the DOS into a receptacle on my GFCI and it works! It even pumped as per my programmec schedule!
So... now what? Just keep it plugged into the GFCI? Do I need to have it plugged into the EB8 for any reason?

Thanks for the help!

I am going to post my programming once I type it up.
I hate being such a techno dunce! It's the one aspect of this hobby I can't seem to wrap my head around....

The dose should not b plunged into the eb8 it should b plugged directly into the wall Programming it is super simple; all you have to do is put in the amount of liquid you want dosed; and how long u want that spread over.

Keep it plugged into GFCI, it communicates with apex through the aqua buss, not nec to plug into eb8
