VorTech pumps are designed by aquarists to be the gold standard for providing flow in marine aquariums. When it comes to broad yet gentle flow, the VorTech design is unmatched.
At the heart of VorTech’s success is its unique, patented, magnetically coupled design.
The benefits of this design are:
No distractions from the beauty of the tank and its inhabitants.
No wires in the aquarium.
No unwanted heat was added to the water column.
No risk of electrical discharge harming people or marine life.
No hassle when it comes to installing, relocating or cleaning the power head.
Vortech Functions:
Feed Mode - At the touch of the button, all VorTech wirelessly enabled pumps will temporarily pause their current mode and idle allowing food to be added to the tank without being cycled into the overflow and filtration.
Night Mode - Pumps can be enabled to run a gentler nighttime program simulating calmer ocean conditions for nighttime hours.
Wave Auto-Tune - Create a standing wave in your aquarium and demonstrate the true power of the fully operational VorTech QuietDrive control system.
Vortech Capability:
Multi-Pump Communication - All “w” denominated VorTech pumps come with an RF module installed. The RF module will allow up to 8 “w” pumps of any type to work together in sync, anti-sync or coordinated modes.
Wireless Controllability - All Vortech pumps are compatible with the EcoTech ReefLink and the Mobius app. The Reeflink provides completely wireless access to the world of EcoSmart Live, the web-based aquarium command centre from EcoTech Marine. The Mobius app is an innovative new control platform for your EcoTech Marine products. A core rethinking of how products connect and function make Mobius one of the simplest and smartest control apps you'll ever use.
Battery Backup Mode - All Vortech’s are also compatible with the EcoTech Battery Backup, which can keep the pump running in the event of a power cut.
