Thanks Richard! Glad they are working for you!

FOZZYBEAR 215 hey I’m interested in the 6011 3170gph which one did you get and any tips on what size I would need for a 125 gallon tip

I just bought a used 55 and thought I was on top of the hill lol but u and your 125,thats a monster compared to mine.

There are pdf files on the net which show their par readings at depths up to 28 or 30 inches i believe. Maybe it was more. That was what I used for reference to determine their suitability for my system.

Hi Russel, yes, the pumps can be clocked 90. The 6009 includes PVC fittings, for the two larger pumps, we recommend using the following fitting to attach directly to the inlet and outlet: 1-1/2” Schedule 40 PVC Female Adaptor (Cantex #5140047 or Carlon #E942HRL)

Hi - The blue Orings are simply a visual indicator that the pump requires 24V DC. A black Oring (like on our lights) indicate 12V DC, Blue Orings indicate 24V DC.

You would need to email us for a wiring diagram, but it is possible, yes.

Hi Schuyler - 2 things to check: 1. Make sure the back of your DC pump HUB has a Bluetooth icon. 2. Make sure the microUSB cable is plugged into the far right port. If you need any help, let us know via our website and a tech can reach out to you. IT should work no problem though.

Hi - from what you have described it sounds like you may simply need a new DC pump HUB. If you contact us via our web support form, our techs will be happy to send you one: current-usa.com/consumer-warranty/

Turn the dial right (clockwise) to increase the flow and counter-clockwise to decrease the flow.

Hi Tim - When plumbing #6010 & #6011 in an external inline configuration, we recommend using the following fitting to attach directly to the inlet and outlet: 1-1/2” Schedule 40 PVC Female Adaptor (Cantex #5140047 or Carlon #E942HRL)

When you do a water change - just put the pump in feed mode or turn it down to a low speed and leave it on. The feed mode works well for water changes.

@@CurrentUSA do I just leave it in feed mode after the water change or do I turn it back up?

@@mr.fishman1510 It will resume back to your original flow setting after 10 minutes

Yep, you sure can!

@@CurrentUSA cool. When I tried with the remote i did not see a option/icon for the return pump

@@moetivation2378 Are you using the Bluetooth controller or LOOP IR controller? Turning the pump completely off is only available with the Bluetooth controller and LOOP APP.

@@CurrentUSA I'm using the loop IR controller. I will be upgradding to the bluetooth soon. Thanks for the info

Moetivation ! You’re very welcome!

Hi Ebrahim, yes, we have had many customers do this. Just remember it is 24V DC

@@CurrentUSA Awesome thanks Mate will post updates as I embark on my Solar Energy journey, actually I will be running the pump via solar for my Aquaponics system

Hi Joram, yes it will go back to its normal setting.

Hi Salvador - you need to add the head pressure of the vertical height, PVC pipe and fittings/nozzles. This usually decreases the flow on marine tanks quite a bit.

Current-USA From what I’ve been able to learn from research, fittings only decreases 1 foot per each 90 degree elbow, half a foot for 45’s. The pipe size, from what I’ve experienced with the little bit I’ve worked with plumbing, a smaller pipe size increase the pressure of the water flow. I don’t think it should negatively effect the head lift. So I guess I’m wondering how many GPH do you sacrifice with each foot of head lift? My tank is maybe 5 feet from the sump to the returns on the tank. It has three returns, one with 2 feet, and two with 2 1/2 feet from where the return splits. So that’s 7 feet. 2 1/2 feet from the pump to where it splits. That’s 9 1/2 feet. I guess there’s 7 90 degree elbows, and the pipe slits from 1 1/2 to three 3/4 inch. So it’s 16 1/2 total. Am I missing something?

@@conspiracytheoriesorconspi9061 Reef tanks require a 6-10x turnover rate - At a standard 48" of height, the pump flows 750gph (which is 10x75g). It doesn't look like your pipe loss calculations are correct (they are too high). You can see the flow chart with flow loss on our website: current-usa.com/eflux-dc-flow-pumps/

Current-USA I watched every instructional video on your site, and took a look at the flow chart. I couldn’t find anything about determining head pressure when adjusting for fittings. I did however notice that the specifications from the video tutorial are different from the flow chart. For one the flow chart says that the smaller pump is for tanks up to 100gal, when in the video it says 75gal. Now you said in your last message that the pump needs to be able to turn the water over 6-10 times, which would make more sense, for a water flow of 1050 GPH, 100gal turned over 10 times would be 1000. If this was said from the start I would never had been confused about the calculations, and recommendations made in the video in question. But that’s not the case. What got my attention about the video was that it said the water in your tank needs to turn over 5 times, and the smaller pump supports tanks up to 75gal, the basic math on that just didn’t add up in my head. Making the water have to turn over 10 times clarifies everything. But now that it got me deeper in the specs, and how it all works, more questions have popped up. This is going only on what is stated on the website, and if we were to disregard you saying water needs to turn over 10 times. I didn’t see anywhere in the website site that number, it specifically says to calculate the total volume of water for tank, and sump, then multiply it by 5. The smaller pump’s rated flow is 1050 GPH, and the maximum tank size it supports is 100gal. Now again that doesn’t add up. But I see from the flow chart that tank size limit isn’t calculated by the total rated flow of 1050 GPH, rather on each pump the chart has a flow rating at 5 ft. head pressure, and it uses that flow rate to determine the tank size limit for each pump. So as stated on the flow chart from the website the smaller pump has a total flow rate of 1050 GPH at 10 feet head pressure, and 500 GPH at 5 feet head pressure. What I learned is that the flow chart uses the 500 GPH at 5 feet head pressure to determine the maximum tank size recommended for that pump, and does the same for all the pumps. So the smaller pump is rated at 500 GPH at 5 feet head pressure, and can support tanks up to 100gal, which will be able to turn the water over 5 times. My question now is, why does it not say that in the video tutorials, and why not just make the pumps flow rate specifications reflect that in the sales pitch? I still don’t understand what the whole deal with the 5 feet head pressure being the rated flow that determines the capacity of the pump. There’s no explanation to why 5 feet head pressure is where they decided to calculate the flow rate, which determine the maximum size tank for the pump. It all just makes everything confusing. I don’t see why they wouldn’t just keep things simple, and say the pump has a flow rate of 500 GPH at 5 feet head pressure, and a total of 10.4 foot lift? This would just simplify everything.

@@conspiracytheoriesorconspi9061 Salvador - all of this information is available on our website. Every aquarium set up is different and every application and filter set-up is different. There are many head-loss calculators available online for hobbyists to use, including here: pentairaes.com/pump-calculator. Most customers simply contact us directly with both their aquarium specifications and how they are using the pump and we help size their pump for them.
