THE VECTRA ADVANTAGE

    Cost Savings

Traditional AC pumps when used as a return pump for your sump are flow controlled through the use of a choke valve. This is method of control is inherently inefficient for two reasons. 1) The AC pump purchased must often be over-powered for your given setup to allow for flexibility. 2) By adding artificial impedance to your flow, electricity is wasted. The Vectra pump will always operate at the optimum efficiency because there is no need to use a flow restricting valve to achieve your desired flow rate.

    Active Feedback

When used with the ReefLink, your Vectra pump can send you performance and status alerts right to your mobile device or computer. Your return pump is the heart of your aquarium; the faster you hear about an unexpected issue the more successful you will be as an aquarist.

    Quiet Operation

    Controllability

Mobius Communication & Programming

Access and program your Vectra pumps through your mobile device to access a myriad of features. A defining characteristic of EcoTech equipment is the versatility and power of control offered to the aquarium hobbyist.

    Fast Setup

    Quick Disassembly

    British Standard Pipe Threading

RETURN PUMP MODES

    Constant Speed

    Constant Speed mode is the default mode of the Vectra, this makes the pump produce flow at a constant speed that is determined by the position of the dial.

    Feed Mode

    At the touch of a button the Vectra pump will temporarily pause the current mode and idle allowing food to be added to the tank without being cycled into the overflow and filtration.

    Speed Lock

    Speed Lock gives you the ability to lock in a desired speed on the pump by disabling the control dial protecting you from accidental and not so accidental unwanted changes in speed.

CLOSED LOOP MODES

    Lagoonal Random

    Lagoonal Random mode simulates a low-energy lagoon environment. The speed of the pump is changed slowly to recreate the gentle currents of a lagoon.

    Reef Crest Random

    Reef Crest Random mode simulates a high-energy reef environment. The pump will change speed frequently and drastically to simulate crashing waves and surging tide. This is a favorite of SPS coral.

    Gyre

    Gyre mode creates a flow pattern consisting of uniform clockwise and counterclockwise flow levels pulsing at a selected interval between two seconds and two hours.

About The Manufacturer

EcoTech Marine has been developing cutting-edge marine and reef lighting and flow pumps since 2003. It all started when two marine enthusiasts with engineering backgrounds started building their own high-tech gear. Today EcoTech Marine is known for innovative LED lighting, water pumps and wireless control and automation systems for reef aquariums. The Vortech MP10 propeller pump is considered by many as the gold standard in controllable flow pumps. EcoTech Marine pioneered water flow programs we know today including Random, Reef Crest, Night, and Feeding modes.
