Tunze 6045

[xmetalfan99]

I am replacing my crappy Korallia Evos with Tunze pumps. I am interested in the Tunze 6045 pumps, but I can't tell if they need a controller or not. if it does, what tunze pumps do not need a controller?

Well, after hunting down info on tunze's website, I found that flow is controlled by a lever on the side of the pump.

Unless that is something new they have added........

the one I have now has no lever.

I found it on their website. Do you own the 6045? If so, does it have a plug or does it have to be a controller.

If you go to the Tunze site, it says the 6045 flow is adjusted via the lever. The flow cannot be adjusted by a controller. If you want to be able to ramp the speed up and down and use one of their controllers like a 7095 on it, you would have to go with the 6055's.

Yes I do and it has no way to alter speed. It has a plug.
As Paul said to be able to get a Tunze on a controller you have to start at the 6055's.

The one with the lever is the newer model the one without is the older model. The one on socaltropicals for $50 is the older model, still a really good deal though. I've bought stuff from them and recommend them. And like was said above, it's not controllable just plug and play like your koralias.
