I imagine the next refresh will be to the mp40. As for when. My guess is it will be later then sooner. There really is no reason to wait for a refresh. The current models are stellar.

What more can you really do with this pump.
Maybe a cup holder then it would have everything.
Just kidding but seriously what else could be done, anything else would just drive the price up another 200 bucks.

Just curious. I guess they can make it in pink. Just kidding...
I'm thinking perhaps make the controller Internet accessible or find a way to keep the wet side last a little longer. I read somewhere that the wet side gets replaced once every year or two.
Another idea is to make it a little quieter. The cost will probably go up regardless. Just a thought.

Internet capable would be great.

Maybe the 1st gen wetside. That is long gone.
And if something does start to wear out its like $30 to rebuild it. No big deal.

I was hoping that they revamped the wetside on the mp40 like the mp10s or the mp60s. I got rid of mine because I did not like replacing the wetside parts every year or so. I have the mp60 and mp10s without issue. The mp40 definitely needs an overhaul. I might buy 4 of it again if they made it into a smaller "mp-60".
Quieter design? I returned mine as they were far too loud for my dead silent setup.

usb port for upgrades or touch pad interface?
Ecotech did give powerheads a game changer with their vortechs. Perhaps on their next gen it will be another game changer and do it in the sump.
I don't own a mp60 but from what I heard when they did the mp60 they redid it and is built a lot better and quieter than the mp40s.
making the mp40 the same as the mp60 actually sounds right so it can align their deployment strategy and timeline. their products are definitely awesome but kind of expensive. they have to come out with something new or really improve in order to keep charging customers that premium amount.
I was actually thinking of that too. would be nice for it to have a USB port, and touch pad interface that has an ethernet port so you can manage it. perhaps we could change the flow settings remotely would be nice...

biggest area that could be improved upon is noise level. another nice feature that could be added would be a rudder or some sort of way to direct the flow where you want it to go. although I imagine there would be some concern that if water isn't being blasted straight out it could cause the wet side to become misaligned. at any rate this would be a nice feature if they could do it.
