VorTech Propeller Pump - MP40W
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 is the smallest propeller pump on the market when you
consider how little space it occupies inside the aquarium. The motor is
outside of the aquarium, meaning the VorTech may be positioned where it
will be least visible. The VorTech is elegantly discreet both in and
outside your aquarium.
Operational Modes
Feed Mode - Slows down your pump for 10 minutes to allow you to feed your aquarium.
Constant Speed Mode - The pump runs at a constant speed you set based on your aquarium’s specific needs.
Reef Crest Mode - Automatically simulates the high-energy conditions of a natural reef crest environment.
Lagoon Mode - Automatically simulates a calmer, lagoon reef environment.
Short Pulse Mode - Allows for wave pulse timings between 0.3 and two seconds, enabling the creation of FAST alternating flow throughout the tank.
Long Pulse Mode
- Allows for wave pulse timings of between two seconds and 60 seconds,
enabling the creation of slow alternating flow throughout the tank.
Night Mode
- Enables the pump to operate for 14 hours in whichever mode is
selected for the day and go back to Night Mode for 10 hours. Master
pumps will tell their slaves to go into Night Mode as well.
Pump Disconnect - Automatically shuts down the system if the wet and dry sides become separated.
Wireless Wave Driver
- Enables wireless coordination between multiple MP40w units right out
of the box, with no extra equipment to buy - making it the most
cost-effective solution on the market.
Sync and Anti-Sync Slave Modes
- In a multi-pump setup, slave pumps will operate in sync or inverse
(anti-sync) to the master pump to create tidal currents within your
aquarium.
Flow
The VorTech produces from
1,000 to 3,200 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.
Energy Savings
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 3,200
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.
Battery Backup Accessory
The
VorTech Battery Backup will power one pump for up to 30 hours or two
pumps for 15 hours each. Alternatively, multiple battery backups can be
plugged into each other to provide even more run time during a power
outage. There is no other product that detects an outage and provides
as much insurance for so little money.
Wave Motion
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.
