There is some uncertainty here, we have planned to make a heavy duty version of the ORCA for the 6255. It works but the issue is it a great deal of thrust for the clamp and pipe to handle, we had discussed longer term having a version that was beefier and could be extended deeper. The ORCA can actually handle 6055, 6075, 6095, 6105, 6255 as long as they are HUB edition models as you have to have a pump with the 4 pin waterproof connector to connect the pump to the ORCA. The 6255 is with caveats that you will need to be absolutely sure the clamp is secure and the pipe will need to be not overly extended, angles and pulses will need to be less extreme, it is pushing the limit and ideally we would have a heavy duty model. As far as sets, the only sets will be with 6105 or 6075 for now and possibly later we will introduce a heavy duty model with 6255, the limit is not the device itself it is the clamp to the tank and the pump being secure against that much thrust at varying angles.
I can say the 6255 hub edition works with a firmware upgrade BUT the clamps break, I found 2 Orca's in the tank when I came home the last 4 months. I now reduced the max flow on the 6255 to 60%. Last 4 months I replaced 18 clamps on 4 Orca's and have 12 more on order as spare. Today I found 1 more clamp broken, luckily the Orca is secured by 3 clamps. Contacted Tunze many times, there is no issue according support.

I'm very interested in the stronger version of the clamp that you are speaking about. Any update / more information on that? That would really solve my problem.
