New Ecotech Marine Product

[lsu_fishfan]

Just wanted to share for anyone who hasn't seen yet. Ecotech has officially announced there new line of DC controllable return pumps, the vectra M1 and L1 are said to start shipping in August. What are your opinions on it?

I would use one. Probably $$$ but they have good warranties and I bet if something failed you would have no problem getting parts or replacements

Now that a good company has a DC pump out, I can finally use them. Pricing is great too.

What are they pricing them at? I was expecting it to be about a mortgage payment.

I have looked for a DC return pump for a while. I think it'd be great pump +ESL ... it's awesome. Can't wait to see it. Tag along

I just put 6 of each on order =) We will have them as soon as they ship out the first batch. I'm pretty excited. Especially because they will be controlled through the Quiet Drive!

Are they for store use or sell? If for store use, I'd love to hear a review once they get in

Technically they are for sale... but knowing me I won't be able to help myself and I will probably rip one open as soon as they hit the door =) I will let you guys know!

I wonder if they will release a quieter version later?

Reef Link compatible as well... Control your lights, MP's, return pump.... All at once. Pretty hot idea!! I hope they build a bigger one as well.... 3000 GPH, needs to be more....

I like the idea of a feed mode for your powerheads and return pump

I'll be in for one on my next build.

So this can be run externally?!! Could a sponsor pm for m1 pump.
