Yes you can keep flipping the switch, Even with my newer timer settings my timers will say the bag is empty or full and its not.Quote:

yes, programming only required on 2009+Quote:

Great thanks
I suppose that timing will need to be adjusted when I am using the X-Link system to fill one bag when using both pumps?
6 minute run time then?
OK now your opening a can of Worms Mr.Quote:

You hit the water,
Boat is empty,
You have to fill 1 bag the old fasion way because X link is bag to bag, not Lake to Bag.
So the timer has to be set for enough time to Fill the first bag.
Then you switch to the other side,
Full bag is draining on its own pump, timer is happy.
Empty Bag is filling on its own pump, timer is happy.
Now you introduce X Link pump to the mix.
Full bag is now draining 2xs the speed but the timer doesnt know this.
Empty bag is now filling 2xs the speed but the timer doesnt know this.
Basically on my dash that shows % full of each bag. My Empty bag shows 50% and my Full bag shows 50%
So now im back to ON and Off with the Switch to make things work..X Link really screws with the timers.
So i have set my bag timers to 20 minutes, and i ignore the Dash read out and listen to the pump for when its running dry.
I honestly HATE HATE HATE the Dam timers, id rather risk buying impellers LOL.
Oh geez this is getting complicated...
Wakemakers sold me on the idea of the X-Link with the claim that I could fill my 1100's twice as fast by starting to fill both bags and then using the X-Link once there was enough water to start transferring from the "non surf" side.
However they did not mention anything about the ballast timers and what might work best
I don't have the dash % guages in my 2009 system, so in the past I would usually check the bags as they fill/drain, cycling the switches as required.
Sounds like I will still be doing the same thing and will just have to decide on what ballast timing works best for me?
I would set the timers to a time that Fills the bag completly. I think your timers are set up that they only shut off is the pump for X amount of time, mine shut off when the % reads 100 or 0.Quote:

And upgrade the impellers in your ballast pumps to the green ones
I know this is an OLD thread but it had the best info but one other ??, can you reprogram out of the water with no problems?
