WTS: Vortech Wavemaker

[jervismun]

Hi there

I still have 1 more set to let go (preferably together with the backup battery).

Will let go the pump alone for $300 (backup battery top up $250).

Good deal, collection anytime.

PM me

You may wanna check out your vortech before selling. I took it apart to maintain it after noticing a drastic drop in performance and to my dismay i found that there is corrosion and rust!!!!!!!

Bro

Thanks for alerting me, I've checked the internal part of my Vortechs and have decided to halt all sales for the time being.

Will write to Ecotech Marine (Vortech's company) for an explanation.

Hello Jervis, please accept my apologies. I posted because i thought it is important for you and reefers to know the 'problem' as it may cause alot of harm to our precious setup. Regards

One magnet looks perfectly normal. One needs replacement as it appears to be flaking.

For service in your area contact www.ecotechmarine-asia.com.

It will be much cheaper than paying postage from here in Jersey.

The answer isn’t encouraging; think he is suggesting you purchase a new magnet to replace.

So much for the rusty pumps , think i ll jus store them and get the good old Tunze since they also have the batt input function for power failure.

Btw someone in the other forum suggests that a "little rust" isn't doing much harm to a reef tank and will continue using those rusting pumps until there is report on a crash, think that comment is out of proportion and it contains a hint of bias.

It also suggests knowledge of the problem before my post but swept it under the carpet. Those are really some “Frank comments†from a Tank of the Month winner.
