Hal,

I'm sorry but we've really revealed as much as we possibly can here. There are all sorts of reasons why its better to hold as much back about either controller's functionality until the last possible minute. Unfortunately, we're not going to reveal any more news about these products until we're ready to.

I hope you understand.

it's going to be Sweet! can't wait

I feel lucky to be just setting up a 180 and need powerheads and low and behold, Vortecs are out and are a perfect match for a 180 with only 2 needed and with the upgrade package it's a deal clincher. I can't wait to get them in the mail and look forward to the future wireless controller. This is definitely the tecchie (and practical) way to go, I'm going with the 'new skool' Vortecs. This thread has been helpful in my decision

Groundhog said early spring... what's fcc say?

 

[niko5]

Spring cant come soon enough... I wonder if spring comes sooner will vortech controllers come sooner?

 

[EcoTech Marine]

I have bad news guys, looks like Punxsutawney Phil was all doped up when he made his decision about an early spring. Guess those waiting for the controller will have to wait a bit longer:

[wiszmaster]

LOL!!

 

[Sparkss]

LOL

Millions of people rely on the groundhog for an accurate foretelling of the coming seasons, forsaking the less reliable tomfoolery of so-called 'meteorologists,' with their 'barometers' and 'Doppler Radar.' If we can't trust Phil, tell me, who can us trust?"

 

[Labman48076]

Yes

Yes

but that Ground hog is every bit as accurate as our great weathermen or inaccurate.. lol :lol: :lol:

So I just received a spare Vortech wet frame and I am really happy with it. For starters I do see incremental improvements in the design and that is a good sign.

Also it will allow me to always have one wet frame soaking in vinegar while still running all my pumps. I must say I think the the extra $50 is well worth it and I highly recommend that any Vortech customers consider this strategy.

Also, r ecently received two Batery Backup units and wrote a post with my observations.

vinegar?

 

[raddogz]

Yep, you clean pumps and such in a diluted vinegar solution.

 

[andyjd]

Is it better to take the pump apart, or is it all safe to go in the vinegar?

 

[raddogz]

You are only soaking the wet-end only.

I soaked the wet-end only to the get coralline and schmutz off.

I may have missed this but are we still looking at March for the upgrade? Thanks

 

[ASH]

No, the upgrade offer will be made late spring or early summer.

The most optimistic guesstimate has been Spring 2007.

[jnarowe]

March is Spring right?

 

[IceCap Service]

To really get technical, 21 March - 21 April = early spring, 22 April - 21 May = mid spring and 22 May - 21 June = late spring.

 

[jnarowe]

ouch... That's a big Spring! :lol:

Can't be clearer than that!
