EcoTech Quiet Drive MP10 Installed

EcoTech MP10wQD

Setup was a snap

Turned it on didn't think it was running.
It's very quiet, your ear has to be pretty close to hear sound.

Love the new black color of the driver. Has a sleek slick look to it and the lights are more vibrant as well.
(I know guys don't care about it being pretty, but I do...lol)

I can't really comment too much on the flow I've never owned an MP10 BUT... I can tell you this MP10 is giving my old MP40's a run for the money.
The amount of flow from the MP10 is pretty impressive, I was really surprised.

Of course it has the same small foot print in the tank.
EcoTech has taken a quality product that reefers love and made it even better !
They don't leave you behind either there is an upgrade path available that will give you the quiet

I think these 2 great videos Sean made will answer a lot of questions.

Post an additional questions if I don't have the answer I will get it for you

I'm curious, how does the driver change the actual noise output of the pump? The chart listed makes it seem as though the actual driver is the only thing causing loudness, and not the actual pump itself.

Looks like I'll be getting the driver upgrade then. From the quick snippet, looks like it's a replacement black shell and board. Should be pretty straight forward.

So I see you can pre-order the driver upgrade, but I can't seem to find the Wetside. Does anyone know if you can preorder the wetside yet?

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

To my knowledge the wetside on the mp10 is the same

 

[props4you]

That's correct. Only the driver has changed on the Quiet Drive for the MP10
