Leaked: Ecotech pump (Vectra L1)

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Ecotech has a new return pump that had photos leaked!

What do you think?

Not sure who took this photo.

Haha I think you are the third or forth person to start a thread about this, it would be pretty awesome if they got in the pump game. They always do make superior equiment.

Oh whoops sorry! LOL!

Looks like a quiet drive with adjustable output.

Great a 2000 dallor return pump

If it pushes at least 3100gph and is no more than the red dragon dc pumps i will consider it. But I really want to see what components it uses.

 

[Lilmatty5dimes]

Probably or more than likely all jebao parts since jebao is really in any kind of pump.

Frankly for what the Red Dragon pumps cost, if this is the same or close to it, why consider anything else?

 

[brady]

Nice, I guess the price tag would be around $849 :)

Luckily for you, no one's forcing you to buy it.

It's not for me. I don't have the need or desire for a DC return pump. The energy savings for what I would use one for isn't much compared to the better AC pumps at least for 100g tank sizes and I would never vary flow through my sump. If used as a stand alone closed system pump it might be nice, but powerheads are so good now and move so much water I don't really see the point.

I believe the motor block is made by the same company that makes the Deepwater BLDC Pumps. Other than the Blue and white color everything looks the same except control and power supply.
