Hello,

I have a pair of these pumps for sale. They were purchased in December 2023. They are very quiet and run off one control box with is nice. They are also able to be app controlled.

Reason for sale:I tried to get away from MP40's, but heading back that way.

Currently being cleaned then will post pictures. Will ship in their original boxes. Work up to 12 MM glass.

Only selling as a pair.

I have to ask why are you heading back to the MP40's? I was just thinkinking about making the switch to the Octo's

I’ve come home a few time to the pumps being off. I think it’s an app/WiFi issue. My travel schedule this summer is making me change so family doesn’t have to worry.

They are dead silent and the ability to pivot is wonderful.

 

[indyjaco]

still have

Silent pumps!

Do you think these would be overkill for a 24"x24"x24" cube?

I have two of these in the same size cube and don't find it to be overkill.

I have 2 on the back wall of a 36” cube and I run them dialed way down.

Hmmm, two might be a lot in a smaller cube. Do you know if it's possible with the Wave Engine or the Plus controller/app if these can these be dialed down past the 850 GPH limit in the manual. If not, even at the lowest setting I'd probably need to run them in an almost 180-degree anti sync or something.

I run mine on a WE2 and reduce the schedule to 1 - 30% overnight and it is very calm. I also just tried changing the schedule to operate between 1 - 10%, and it appeared to work fine. It definitely appears to be lower than 850GPH.

Thanks so much for testing that out for me!

Do you use direct connect and just from the hydros app or also use 10v?

I use the Hydros direct connect cables.

 

[Treehrtsme]

Cool

@indyjaco , interested to buy

 

[Treehrtsme]

I use the Hydros direct connect cables.

Maybe you would have some insight in this problem then. I have a varios 2 that I hooked up to my wave engine via direct connect but no matter what I do in the app I can't get the pump speed to change. It always shows the shaft RPM at the same number. I figured I'd have to use the 10 volt connector and hook it up to the controller as well but for some reason that didn't seem right.
