Hello,

I have two MP10's and just one controller. I willing to connect both pumps to same controller making jumpers into the board connector, so I would be able to plug both motors to the same controller. In parallel this i will change the 24V 1.5A for a 24v 3A power supply.

I expect the both motors act exactly the same way. I had this experience in the past plugging Stepper motors in parallel (Vortech's uses stepper motors).

The big question here is: Will the driver be overload at full power?

Does anyone tried this before?

Thanks in advance.
Att,
C. Oliveira

I can't answer the electrical question, but don't blame him for tying them together. I just paid $700 for 2 NIB pumps.. o_O And one of em doesn't connect to WiFi when it should o_O

I was searching for you as well and found a guy at (Dave 1993 ) who has two used ones he would sell but he’s in the U.K.

Definitely overpriced... even more here in Brazil.

I tried a search for a used driver on Ebay and even Craiglist and didn't find any. This stuff is getting rare.

I cant justify them. I am rocking four Nero 5s... Have had two of em for 3 years and the other two for 2 years. Never had a problem and are half the price.

In that case specifically I need a pump without internal power cords messing around. That why i'm using mp10's.

It's very desapointing not having another 2 parts pumps option in the market. Even in 2022.
