Tunze 1073.04 or Sicce 3.0

[Maives]

There are many that have suggested the 1073.04 is just a rebranded Sicce 3.0, So what is in fact the truth of the matter? The impeller, bearings and volute do in fact appear the same. I suppose the windings/electronics of the motor could be different.

These pumps were designed as a cooperative effort, we developed the basic design with Sicce and our line is assembled, tested and packaged at our factory in Germany, there are some minor differences and 1073.050 is our own electronic motor fitted into the common housing.

Thank you Rodger. Any idea when the 1073.050 will be available in the US? Will the 1073.050 be even quieter than the 1073.040? The flowrates are going to be essentially the same, right?

 

[rvitko]

We just got them in, any of our dealers could order one in for you. The max flow is actually 792 gph, it is a stronger pump than the 1073.040.

I contacted Marine Depot and they have no information on the pump. Can you PM a list of dealers that can provide the pump at this time?

And BTW, is the pump totally controllable from a 0-10V port on an Apex controller?

So this New Controllable Recirc Pump 1073.05 can be adjusted from about 300 Gph to almost 800 Gph with a 7096 Controller?

 

[rvitko]

Yes, it can also be adjusted without a controller.

Yes, it can also be adjusted without a controller.

Roger can you also adjust the 1073.50 with the 7095 controller and does the pump come with the cable to connect to the 7095 and last question would the speed control be similar to the streams 30% to 100%?

Im thinking this pump may be a good choice for my substrate reactor which is filled with biopellets would prevent clumping if I can adjust the speed.

thanks

The 7095 can run 4 pumps and all 4 pump cables come with the controller, not the pumps. The speed control is identical, it is essentially a 6105's guts inside a 1073.040.

Thanks I think this will work great for my application
