Mp10/40/60 always breaking

No weapons, I use poison...

I have 6 wireless vortech's. 2 MP40s and 4 MP10s. I have never had any problems with them. Twice I did have to remove a snail that stopped the impeller, but that isn't a design flaw. Matter of fact, they fired right back up with no short or long term issues.

However, I do have to agree with the OP, I have seen multiple FS postings on ARC recently with qualifiers on "x side just x months new". I was starting to wonder if I was just lucky or something else was going on.

I have an email from them saying that you can upgrade gen 1, just need the new ES controllers. They worked fine for a while then both failed. Again old pumps so I was sort of expecting it.

Thanks for the clarification,
The website explicitly says Gen2 only, good to hear that isn't true.

<span>I acquired 2 MP40 pumps - the 1st gen with no flow modes. I would like to update them to the latest drivers, is that possible? Do I need to buy anything else or just the new ecosmart drivers?

thanks
