24v jumper for a 6105

[Kenfuzed]

I just recently received a 6105 but it only had the 15V jumper. According to the instructions there should also be a 24V jumper. Where can I get one of these jumpers?

Actually you should have got an 18V jumper, I would assume it was a mistake and the numbers were misread. If you PM me I will send an 18V. The 6105 has a bigger prop now and the voltage is reduced and the flow is the same as the old 24V. It uses less power and makes less noise this way.

Actually I located the misplaced jumper and it is indeed a 24v. Should I be using a 18V instead?

If it is a newer 6105, yes, only the very first 6105's with 42mm props used a 24V jumper. Using the 45mm prop with24V jumper could cause a pump failure long term.

No clue but have to assume it is the first version since it came with a 24V jumper and also referenced the 24V jumper in the manual and on the box. The box says 6105.000_A and the pump was purchased from reefexotics.com in October 2008.

Is there any advantage to using the larger prop/lower voltage and can this pump be upgraded with a new prop/jumper?

 

[rvitko]

It would be the older version, the newer drive unit is quieter, that is the main advantage. If the pump is too noisy, we can do an upgrade.

Ah, yes I see (hear) what you mean. When I put the 24v jumper in I can definitely hear it even with the pump 18" deep unless I turn the pot all the way down. Is this something I can upgrade myself or does it require being sent in?

 

[rvitko]

No I can send the parts, PM me your name and address.
