My two 6025s still starts in reverse 75% of the time so I can not put them on a wavetimer.

One unintended benefit is when the pump is in reverse, it self-cleans so I do that on purpose, turn the pumps on and off once a while to wash away the junk accumulated on the screen.

BTW, you don't have to put the hand in front of the pump to correct it, just turn it on and off a few times you will get the right flow.
