    Hi Guys,

    I hope everyone has a great holiday season!!!

    I have a question about my MP40W and I haven't been able to find the answer online. I have my setting saved which is a great thing to have. I can unplug the unit to clean it and it goes back to the setting when I plug it in. I just cleaned the wet side today and want to make sure it is lined up properly. The manual says to turn it all of the way up and adjust it until you hear that it is aligned. Is there a way to do this and then go back to my saved setting, or will changing the speed change my saved setting? I have it set where I like it now and hate to have to spend another 30 minutes trying to get it right :) Thanks for any help!!!

    Regards,
    Ivy

    It will change it unfortunately. What mode are you using?

    I was afraid of that. I guess I will just do the best I can. It doesn't seem to be making any noise. I have mine set on short pulse mode. The motion it creates looks awesome. Thanks!!!

    I didn't know you could even save a setting. Usually anytime you change the mode or unplug it, it resets itself. Just write down where the knob is for each setting, the strength and the pulse speed.

    There is a way that you can save the setting you want. I can't remember how right now but it is in the manual. It is great if the power goes out or if you unplug it. It resets to the previous setting.

    The problem with the short pulse is that there are two turns of the dial. One to set the speed of the motor and one to set the frequency. I should have marked it when I set it up. Maybe next time :) Thanks!!!!
