Ecotech Marine VorTech MP10wQD Water Pump

Overview

The VorTech MP10wQD delivers broad reef-safe flow with no cords in the tank thanks to EcoTech’s patented magnetically coupled wet side and external dry side. The QuietDrive controller cuts motor noise dramatically while boosting efficiency and output and the pump is Mobius Ready for direct Bluetooth control of advanced modes like Reef Crest Lagoon Gyre Short Pulse Tidal Swell and Nutrient Transport. Wireless “w” models can multi-pump sync anti-sync or coordinate for true tank-wide water movement and are compatible with the EcoTech Battery Backup for power-outage protection.
