My three wall pumps as I call them will work fine when the switch is set to on but if I put them in auto they turn off? Below is a screenshot of one of them

Never mind they started working. I guess there is a delay

What kind of pumps are these?
There is not a delay per se; they are probably doing exactly what they are programmed to do. The one you posted screenshots of is still programmed with the default settings for the Powerhead Control Type - 5 minutes off, 5 minutes on, then 5 minutes off, a pattern which will repeat nonstop.
Those settings are meant to be modified.
If you tell use how you’ll like the three pumps to operate, we can you you assistance in setting them up.

Program them like this to be always running :
Fallback ON
Set ON
add any desired exceptions to them being always ON, such as If Feed statements.

Thank you
I'm having the same issue. New apexEL I just set up. I have my MP40's under the powerhead setting. They are just off when I put them on auto though... Nothing I do changes it until I switch it to on. The issue is feeding mode does not work when they are to to "on" so what is the problem here??

An MP40 should either be plugged into the wall or the outlet should be set to always ON. The pump type programming is intended for pumps like Korelias to turn them on and off in a pattern. All programming of the MP40 should be done through the WXM.

Thank zombie but that's not what I asked. I dont care what "should be" if I have an outlet set for a powerhead and I want it to turn off when I hit feeding mode this should be happening. I could plug in a lamp into that outlet and if I set it on auto it should be on and when I hit feeding mode it should turn off. This is not happening.
I changed to pump type to return and it fixed my issue. thanks for the reply Zombie. I did buy this based on your recommendation on MASC lol So far so good. Had to calibrate the ph probe in manual due to 10 solution never hit the acceptabl range. I even used two types of PH solution. was off by only .15 at 10.15
yeah I tried that based on other threads on here. I also turned it off and on, did the reset with the paper clip. It was always the same.
