6025 mods on Seio controller

[triguy]

Wanted to know if I could run 2 modded 6025 on a Seio electonic controller. I'm looking to get some wave action at a fairly low price. I have an opportunity to pick one of these up for $70 and since they don't actually turn off the powerhead, I was wondering if it would work.

It does say only works with seio pumps, but why would that be?

I wouldn't do it, you could ruin the pumps. The Seio controller works by modifying the Hz which has to be carefully and specifically tuned to the individual pump the controller is meant to run. The voltage and HZ have to be modified to suit the coil and on another pump it likely will result in overheating and premature failure of the pump. By contrast our controllable pumps run on low voltage DC and it is a more sophisticated system that is generally cheaper and more reliable to implement. With one method you have cheaper pumps and an expensive controller and with the other you have expensive pumps and a cheaper controller.
