Description
VorTech Propeller Pump
The VorTech is beautiful and designed with simplicity in mind. A magnetic
couple transmits motion through your aquarium glass and clamps the assembly
against your tank. This means you won’t have to drill your aquarium,
and that you can easily reposition the pump somewhere else in the aquarium
without having to move around complicated and awkward brackets.
The VorTech produces from 500 to 3,000 gallons per hour of low velocity gentle
water current. The flow is so impressive and broad, that it actually creates
an undertow along your sand bed. You will notice an equal amount of flow going
out of your pump as you will see going back into it! Moreover, because the flow
pattern is so wide, there is no reason to direction the flow, simply place the
pump on the back or sides of your aquarium and flow will be created throughout
the whole tank.
The VorTech is one of the most efficient pumps on the market, and the new MP40W
model is even more so, consuming only 28 watts to produce 3000 gallons per hour.
More importantly, all of the heat put out from the motor is outside of your
aquarium, meaning you won’t have to invest in costly chillers to keep
your tank cool.
Every MP40W model VorTech pump is wave controllable right out of the box! With
our new Wireless Wave Driver, the VorTech pump can act autonomously to create
waves in your aquarium, or can be synched with other pumps in the tank to
create random and pulsing movements. When any one pump is entered into feed
mode, the pump will signal all other VorTech pumps to shut down, eliminating
the time required for you to turn off each pump individually. No other pump
on the market can even compare to the intelligence of the VorTech pump.
Optional battery backup system makes this just about the perfect flow device
for your aquarium.
