My VorTech pump is periodically stopping and blinking red on the controller. How do I fix this?

Edit Subject

In the event that your motor and wetside become de-coupled, the driver will blink red to notify you of this occurrence. However, in some cases a false-error can occur. This can happen because your pump needs to be cleaned or requires other maintenance. In the event that you recieve this error and would like to reset the pump, follow these steps:

1. Go into Feed Mode by holding the Mode button for three seconds. Feed Mode is indicated by a blinking white light.

2. Hold the motor in your hand, separate from the wet side. The motor will still be operating so hold it carefully in a place far away from any magnetic material.

3. Hold Mode and Set. This LED knob will now change color from blinking white to blinking white and yellow. This indicates that you have activated the calibration sequence.

4.Cycle power to the pump by unplugging it and re-plugging it in. The calibration has successfully been cleared out and you will no longer get a false-error.
