Product Information




Ecotech Marine MP20 to MP40w Wireless Driver Upgrade Kit

The VorTech Wireless Wave Driver will upgrade an MP20 model pump to an MP40w model allowing for wireless communication between this and other MP40w pumps. To execute this upgrade, simply unsnap the MP20 driver box, gentle remove the motors plug from the MP20 driver board, and plug this into the new Wireless Wave Driver board. Now, gently snap the new box top onto the base and connect the included power supply. Enjoy the upgraded flow, many modes, and wireless communicating functionally inherent in your new upgraded MP40w pump! Multiple Wireless Wave Drivers can wireless communicate with one another to coordinate random and pulse wave modes.

Wave Modes
- Reef Crest Random Mode- set the potentiometer to your maximum desired speed and the VorTech Wireless Wave Driver automatically randomizes the flow throughout your tank. The pump will vary from one speed to another rapidly to simulate the high-energy conditions of a natural reef crest environment.

- Lagoon Random Mode- set the potentiometer to your maximum desired speed and the VorTech Wireless Wave Driver automatically randomizes the flow throughout your tank. The pump will vary slowly from one speed to another to simulate a calmer, lagoonal reef environment.

- Synch Pulse Mode- When entered into Synch Pulse Mode, pumps will automatically synch with the master pump to provide pulsing flow throughout the aquarium. The potentiometer is used to adjust the maximum speed and then is used to adjust the frequency. The minimum speed is automatically set to the minimum pump speed to create as strong a pulse as you desire. Other pumps can be placed on the same side of the aquarium as the master pump to create standing waves in your tank.

- Anti-Synch Pulse Mode- When entered into Anti-Synch Pulse Mode, pumps will operate inverse to the master pump. Therefor, everytime the master pump is at the maximum speed of the pulse cycle, the slave pumps entered into Anti-Synch Pulse Mode will be at the minimum speed of the pulse cycle, and vice-versa. Place these pumps on the opposite side of the tank as a master pump to create tidal currents within your aquarium.

Feed Mode
When any one pump is entered into feed mode, all pumps shut down for 10 minutes to allow you to feed your aquarium.

Battery Backup
Upgrade kit includes Wireless Wave Driver and power supply. The Wireless Wave Driver can also be used with the battery backup accessory.
