Rumor only - New Vortechs??

[siggy]

+1 dry side, I heard it was a gyre style pump

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

I heard it was a solid state dry side with with a 1" profile. But you didn't hear that from me...

I guess that would be possible for Eco Tech to make. Is that the real deal?

 

[Bryan68]

Wouldn't that be awesome!

 

[Chris155hp]

Following! The only possible thing I could think they could improve would be eliminating the bearing noise complealty by a solid state motor with a slim profile. I hope if they do they don’t sacrifice torque/water movement

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

Can you see the wave it was making?

 

[AquaLifeStudio]

I'd figure that they'd want to develop a Vortech model that can be adjusted for different angles or have the ability to also oscillate. How cool would that be?

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

All it takes is a search of Ecotechs intellectual property, to know the answer to that.

If they do make any changes / updates to the Vortechs, I hope they will still provide the current generation wetsides and not abandon the multitude of QD owners out there.

That would irritate a lot of people. Ecotech I hope you’re reading forums....

Cannot imagine that would happen. Just like the QD wetsides for the 40 were backwards compatible with older motors, I’m sure any subsequent design would be also.

Wow! Hopefully people can just upgrade the dry side and keep the controller and power supply!

Unfortunately it's not something that is coming, this was a DIY project from years ago to combat against the loud dryside....

There are like 11 billion Vortechs out there. If they stopped producing wet sides that is a serious cash cow they are getting rid of. Won't happen for at least three or four years after the last MP is made.

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

Sprinkle in a little truth and the rest HAS to be believable. See how easy it is to spread rumors?

 

[WVNed]

I am so embarrassed I just bought Vortechs. I will bury them in the yard and tell no one.

 

[Prevailing Reef]

I just purchased two MP60’s and two MP40’s so I sure hope they aren’t making any major improvements anytime soon!

A directional Vortech would be awesome but not sure how that would not be a humongous wet side.

 

[TAL]

I seriously hope that if new is coming, they will replace the parts that rust!

 

[MartinWaite]

Maybe a lower profile on the wetside. My MP40s are huge in my tank.

And they are huge on the outside of a tank as well. They could maybe as already suggested make them gyre style, which to me would almost make them worth purchasing as I say almost but not quite not until they sort out the rusty bits.

An MP style elongated Gyre/Crossflow style would be nice for sure. I’d buy 2-3 when they hit market. I’ve wanted to use that style of pump for a while, but the biggest deterrent has been size. Going from an MP40 wet side to a comparable crossflow pump is a big change, not mention the wire in the tank! ......ewwww.....wires
