The Ecotech pump clones have arrived in Ali Express !!!

[VintageReefer]

I have a first gen mp10 and mp40

Someone measure the dmp equals and we can compare

The price of vortechs should come with a 5 year warranty like Tunze does.

They cost about $100 extra then a comparable GPH controllable Tunze and come with 4 years less warranty.

I then would be a lot more open to paying their asking price. One year warranty does not make me think they are confident in their product.

Mine broke a bit after the one year mark

 

[EliMelly]

Just double checked, one seller alone has sold 59 units in less than a week

Wow goodbye vortech…

 

[VintageReefer]

What jebao has done is create two new pumps in between the mp10 and mp40

It sounds like the dmp40 is larger than the mp40, but if you aren’t running your mp40 on 100%, and for example run it at 40% or 70%, you can get a dmp20 or 30 and then size would be smaller

Sorry to clarify I was looking at the largest one and I would be ticked if the dry side was as junky as vortechs. I don’t want to buy new ones at $175 a pop anymore than paying vortechs $190 for their dry side.

That being said, jeabo tends to refine/update their pumps pretty frequently.

Biggest looks to be 130 for a complete assembly

130.00 for the complete dmp40.
900.00 for the mp60.
190 for spare dry side.
Total of 1090.00 fo a set.

580.00 for 4 complete dmp40. That gives you 3 spare wet side 3 spare dry side 3 spare controllers and 3 spare drivers.... AND 510.00 TO SPEND ELSEWHERE!

You can message the seller and they will sell in smaller quantities. I know someone bought 2 and didn’t have to meet the 10 minimum. Just need to chat ahead of time with the seller

Honestly I just want to know are these things silent?

I love the cups! That’s an improvement in my book! I have an MP40 in the center of my back wall that is a HUGE pain to setup every time I remove for cleaning. I have to do some crazy acrobatics to hold the back and front of the pump to get it right. With the suction cups I can place the wet side exactly where I want it, then go to the back and place the dry side without needing to keep hold of the wet side.

I guess I never thought of it that way, just always known suction cups for sucking in all other ways than designed whenever used in reef tanks in my experience anyway

Wouldn't it be funny if the MP wetside coupled to the DMP.

Someone try it for haha's

Hmm, I can't think of a reason it wouldn't..

The magnets may be the same or different polarity. Don't know until tried.

That would be Awesome!

 

[Gtinnel]

That would be Awesome!

I’m hoping it would work the other way and I can eventually just buy a Jebao wetside for my MP40s.

That’s a great idea

I must be looking at the wrong seller. I saw $175. I would still be ticked if it doesn’t last more than a year at $130. Hoping they are made better somehow or cheap wetsides.

I didn’t buy more vortechs since they didn’t last.

How do you expect to keep these aligned with suction cups, you lose the feel of the magnetic alignment. Most of the issue with shaft and bearing wear is misalignment in the first place, and that is with the aid of the magnets.

Yah, I agree. I posted early about how I thought it would be harder to properly align them with suction cups. Maybe a person can just remove them on the wet side? Seems it is a part that slides off. Maybe it is there for a reason though...

I'm not sure if it was verbiage, a picture, or my clouded mind, but I believe the dryside does not have suction cups....simply move that side around to align.

As far as wear on the bearings, and I've given this a fair amount of thought having replaced many wetside bearings, is a design flaw....or a purposely designed flaw. The forces on the motor are unidirectional in line with the shaft and directed to ball bearings. Note, ball bearings. It's not just spinning round and round, it's also being "pulled" towards the wetside. A better fit would have been needle bearings, or better yet, tapered needle bearings. Not sure if they make them that small, and if not, for what you're paying, have them custom made.

All it would need is a thrust bearing at the end of the stack. It would handle the pressures and most likely keep the stack straight.

Either of these would work. (as long as they handle the rpm)

You do realize these HAVE the magnets PLUS SUCTION CUPS?
