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
 
Why reinvent the wheel and take the chance !!! Buy another controller new or used .
 
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
 
They're over priced. Hes trying to save money lol
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 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.

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.

i believe Ecotech owns the patent on it, thats why.
