Return Replacement

[Brian S]

Thanks for your time!

Need to replace a ecotech vector m1. Considering one of the Syncra SDC WiFi Controllable Pumps.

5x turnover = 442gph
10x turnover = 850gph

Need to account for 4.5 ft of head loss.

Would you get the 6 or the 9

Is vector m1 malfunctioning? s

i run 2 of the syncra 5.5 (not controllable pumps) as my return. on a 100 gallon in our kitchen. . i would highly recommend 2 smaller pumps vs one big one for redundancy reasons...
but if only getting one would get the 9 because you can dial it down but you cant dial up a 6 up to what a 9 can do.

Thx!
Multiple return pumps? Do you plumb them to a single line?

The m1 just stopped working - early this morning. On the plus side, ecotech is trying to help me troubleshoot the issue.

I would just stick with ecotech. They back their products and will work with you. Keep us informed.
