Where are all the VERSAs??

[special-ops-s2k]

It would be nice to get an honest answer. I have spoke to 2 vendors and Eco Tech and dates come and go. All I can do is speculate. But maybe its back to the drawing board.......

If that's the case I would find a temporary solution... But they keep saying they will ship soon so I keep waiting. I totally would understand if there was a delay in manufacturing... Just tell us, don't keep saying it's coming tomorrow

 

[special-ops-s2k]

Do the new units being produced have corrected body to prevent the tubing coming off the rollers, or are they including that 3d printed "tube retainer" part for each Versa?

Hopefully it's included

 

[TheHarold]

Hopefully it's included

Agreed

 

[Tim at EcoTech]

It's included with pumps shipping this month, and if you need/want one, just call us. And as we've mentioned before- the Versa delays are due to covid. We have plenty of parts inventory, but if you haven't heard before now: the lack of available day care makes getting to work in order to convert that inventory to a finished product a challenge for people all across the country.

So Tim with that being said, what are the plans to get the finished Versa products out to stores?
I would like to buy 2. When will I be able to get them? Thanks

I just contacted ecotech to see if I can get one pump to test in my tank

Bummer was hoping to see some instock today since its mid June.

 

[eraser2001]

I contacted Ecotech like Tim posted here and Ecotech did not want to sell to me

 

[Poochaku]

I think he was talking about the tube retainer part haha

 

[Evaaron]

I was referring to post #6

 

[eraser2001]

I tried to see if Ecotech want to sell me one

BRS said end of June. They also said June 6 a while back. Obviously they are at the mercy of Echotech

I’m still twiddling my thumbs waiting. I really need the pump so that I can complete a project I’m working on.

Same.....

If you haven’t heard before now, people can’t get to work at EcoTech because of day care. Ummmmm well I have 600 employees that haven’t had a problem yet it impacts everyone across the country apparently. That was a snarky response Tim at EcoTech made to people wanting to keep them employed. Like we are all idiots living in a bubble.

I’m curious as well, yes I know covid has played a role in delays, but it’s a little ridiculous, when all my retailers have a trident in stock, but no versas. (Different companies, I know) Is there another situation behind closed doors, that we aren’t being informed of? I’m curious if I should cancel my order and pay the extra $100 for a kamoer so I can use my calcium reactor. If I’m waiting longer then a few weeks for a product, I’ll shop else where, and I’m sure many people will as well. Just would like a simple answer.

 

[RJKain-777]

It’s also July , with no versas in stock, thought they were shipping out in June?

 

[Vinman]

I've known my LFS owner for about 15 years so when I mentioned I couldn't get the versa he made one call and I had it in 3 days. Support local shops. The internet is great but not always the answer. This was in June.

I support my local shop, I ordered weeks ago, still nothing . Im really curious what’s going on

I was told that they are catching up on radions and vortechs now and then will focus on versa and vectra. Versas should ship end of July ish. Source is the owner of saltwateraquarium.com

My personal opinion is poor management thru the “pandemic” but operating in CA is no peach so who knows. I gave up after 4 weeks and no local stock and just bought another DOS. Following now just to see how long it takes from the “June will see many Versas” to June didn’t see anything now let’s see July.
