Description of ๐ŸŒŠ Enhanced Maxspect XF350 Gyre Pump with Advanced Controller Package for Ultimate Wavemaking

The engineers at Maxspect completely redesigned the pump with less parts and a more intuitive assembly for easier maintenance of the rotors. Gyre 300 series pumps include an extra set of bushings to help reduce downtime while cleaning and keep your pump operating at full capacity. The new design has simplified this process of rotor replacement making it easier than ever to keep your pump pushing water at full throttle. All of the Gyre 300 series pumps are compatible with the Maxspect Connect ICV6 control module so you can wirelessly control your pumps using the free Syna-G app from Maxspect. Any combination of pumps can be connected and controlled which means you can now operate a Gyre XF330 and an XF350 using the same control module all with a single power supply. This helps you to tailor the flow inside your aquarium perfectly to suit the needs of your corals without a ton of wires and bulky power supplies under your tank. The most noticeable upgrade on the new Gyre 300 pumps is the detachable flow directors which are a welcome addition and allows you to place your pumps even closer to the surface of your aquarium without the worry of pulling a noisy vortex of air and improving surface agitation for maximum gas exchange. You can maneuver each director to point the Gyre flow of water where you need it.

Update the firmware as soon as possible

I bought this because I used an older model on another tank and I love it. This one comes with fewer parts but still has the same basic functionality and actually works better. When they say shut up, they mean it. I don't even hear the howl when it goes back to 100% to 0 like you can on older models. I'm not giving it 5 stars because mine won't work with my ICV6 until I get a firmware update for the model. Since it's still new it's too easy to pull devices from them and replace them withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Randomly stops working and the worst customer service I've experienced

Edit: After a firmware update fixed the problem described below for channel B, channel A of the gyre stopped working after a few weeks. There was no obvious reason - I just noticed one day that the current in my aquarium was less than it should be. I'm trying to update the firmware AGAIN, but there's no excuse for accidentally powering off these devices. I recommend you buy something else until Maxspect fixes this. I contacted Maxspect and their solution was to take the pumps out of my tankโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some bugs

HORRIBLE PRODUCT EXCELLENT JUST WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE!

If you're looking for factory defective pumps (confirmed by the company who emailed them to me) that keep clogging and are COMPLETE GARBAGE, look no further. They are terribly designed. The ribs rub against the edge of the shield, causing seizure and engine seizure. Calcium builds up (due to poor sealing) on the inside of them for a week or two and causes the pumps to stop turning. They clog so badly that the bushing (the part that's supposed to act as a kind of bearing) literally startsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • The cord is shorter than other picks

Maxspect Gyre 350: Disappointing

When I decided to add a circulation pump to my aquarium I researched the market and settled on the Maxspect Gyre 350. Positive decision points โ€ข Maxspect appears to be an industry leader with launch Gyre Technology โ€ข The Gyre 350 has proven to be ideal for eliminating flow imbalances in various types of aquariums, mine in particular. Management is available at an additional cost. Other manufacturers offer Bluetooth at no extra cost, but since I have multiple devices from different brands, Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
