Tunze backorders

[mousefish]

Anyone know when the Tunze magnets and Turbelle Streams will be coming in? I've been waiting on backorder with Marine Depot for about 3 weeks.

What models? I don't know exactly how far behind they are. I get some 6200.50 magnets next week. The 6100 Streams will ship to Marine depot next week but they should have the other models in stock or in transit to them. The magnets are a tough one. We anticipated needing 2500 over 6 months and sold that many in 3. The neodymium magnets are only made by three factories in the world and two are in China, one is in Russia. Needless to say they are not quickly procured and this led to a long delay and production has only recently started back up again. These are the first magnet holders to arrive in over a month. The pumps I would expect you will see soon but I can make no promises on the magnet holders.

Hey Roger do those magnets you are getting in work with the small (633gph) turbelle pumps? I am itching to get that pump with controller and photo cell but I am holding out for the magnets.

 

[rvitko]

Yes, they work for just about everything we make.

Sweet. Thanks Roger, I'll place my order.
