Doubt it. The Trigger fleeces didn't tear cleanly at all in my experience. Sure does look similar though.I'm not necessarily advocating for use of this product but is it me or does this look exactly like the 10 inch by 50 yard Fleece roll provided by Trigger Systems?

Haven’t set my 39 platinum up yet but I did notice that Trigger released a “V2” version of the motor with a screen and optical sensors instead of the float sensors. Has anyone made this upgrade and what are your thoughts on it?

I'm interested in thoughts on the V2, and Im also super curious about whether the new platinum sumps come with the V2 motor controller (because Im thinking of buying one, and I dont want to spend almost $1300 on a sump and then have to pay more for the upgrade). Anyone bought one recently?
I've asked both BRS and AquaCave about the status of the V2 on the new sumps and no response yet after several days. I would have thought someone would want to sell me super expensive stuff, but here we are...I've been eyeing the upgrade as well. For five-plus days in a row last week, my roller wasn't responding to the flow switch so I would have to manually advance the roller by pushing the button every hour or so. Then all of a sudden it started working on its own again. This has me wanting to try the upgrade.
I’d bet they only have V1 Sumps in inventory.I've asked both BRS and AquaCave about the status of the V2 on the new sumps and no response yet after several days. I would have thought someone would want to sell me super expensive stuff, but here we are...
This,...! This worked like...a CHARM! OMG the noise was driving me NUTS! CRAZY! BONKERS!!! When I saw this solution, I said to myself, "no way. Come on. Can't be". Went under, blindly unscrewed it (couldnt see it-back left of cabinet) and immediately heard a "whooosh" and felt air escape.........then dead silence. Oh the sweet sweet sound of a dead silent sump! Thank you soooooo very much for this solution! So very much appreciate your contribution!So far happy with my Platinum 26". I was getting a ton of large air bubbles popping up loud as hell into the fleece roller section from where the 2 drain section is. It's really air tight with the gasket and my plumbing causing the large bubbles as the chamber became pressurized and pushed into the next section after building up. Removed one of the thumb screws from the drain holder and the air quickly escaped and stopped the bubbles and annoying sound. Just a heads up in case anyone else is experiencing this, its an easy fix
I am so happy you found my post and it helped you out. The noise drove me nuts also. My tank is in my office behind my desk and I started to think I made a mistake buying this setup. I was able to trace it all back to that first chamber and there was no way to eliminate the air from the drains. Remembering the gasket and how sealed it was to "eliminate" salt spray I thought, let me just take that thumb screw off opening it up to let the air escape and bam.This,...!

Btw, have to ask, any danger of water escaping through that little screw hole? I have 90 gallon Aqueon with one drain and I plugged the unused sump drain with a cap from Home Depot. The cap fit inside the unused drain and made air tight seal. I was told in my thread:
https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/brought-trigger-system-platinum-26-for-my-90g-aga-tank-but.987627/
"just dont use the 2nd connector" which would mean no danger of water coming out from unused drain connector so I pretty much have my concern answered. Just had to ask cause I'm a nervous Nellie .
I asked about a solution in my same thread and didnt get this solution but thats probably because the thread doesnt mention the gurgling issue. I added the question as secondary to my thread so probably why it was missed. I could of just removed the cap inside the 2nd drain instead of removing screw but it's in there tight and only way of getting it out without shutting everything down, emptying sump and moving it to where I could get to it and remove.
I'll post this thread's solution to close my secondary question.
Once again....THANK YOU so very much!!!!
Bump.... Wondering about this as well..So I'm buying a used one tomorrow for my new build (buying a whole tank setup but going to resell the tank/stand/canopy/lights)... Has anyone ever hooked up the sensors and motor to a Hydros system and eliminated their control box? Or has anyone rewired the float switches to the optical kind without upgrading the entire system?
I'm not sure yet I want to spend the $260 to upgrade it... he mentioned it worked fine when he had the tank setup as is though...
I wanted to get the new titanium 26, but hasn't come out and I'm getting a deal on this tank + other stuff (less than what the platinum sells for new still).
