-
No distractions from the beauty of the tank and its inhabitants
-
No wires in the aquarium

No unwanted heat 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
Upgrade from EcoSmart
For existing EcoSmart VorTech owners, an upgrade path can bring your VorTech pump the benefits of our QuietDrive technology. The upgrade path for each VorTech model might be slightly different.
Download the following information packet to determine the different upgrade scenarios and their resulting performance improvements.
Battery Backup
In an aquarium with no flow, fish and corals begin to die in as little as 4 to 10 hours. The VorTech Battery Backup is reef tank insurance in an aluminium housing.
By adding the VorTech Battery Backup, your tank is insulated from power interruptions, helping protect your valuable investment -and your tank inhabitants.
One EcoTech Marine Battery Backup will power one MP40wES for up to 36 hours.
*Hours are estimated and will vary depending on battery life, pump mode and other factors.
