Upgrading from Mp40wES to QD

Timrpn · Dec 29, 2018

Hi there,

I am thinking about purchasing 2x MP40wES from another reefer. They are not QD. If I wanted to upgrade them to QD do i just have to do the controller part? Or do I have to upgrade the wetside as well?

Thanks

I just upgraded my MP40wES and only did the controller. The wet side was still the older version. I could believe the difference the controller made. Have mine set on pulse and could here it in the other room before the change, now standing within a couple of feet of it I can barely hear it.

I did the same as mx36. It made a huge difference in sound.

The QD has a different wet side, dry side, and controller than the WES. I had both and upgraded the wet side on the WES and there was a noticeable difference. I didn't change the controller but like posters above heard that made a noticeable difference as well. Honestly, I feel like the older WES Dry side was magnetically stronger than the current QD as it didn't fall off as easily.

What thickness of glass do you have it on?

15mm. They stayed on the glass sides without a problem. But I have the back wall vinyl'd black and when I tried to mount the QD it didn't want to stay on, but the WES was no problem.
