I agree. Updates would be nice. I purchased two with the interest of the controller and would be nice to know any new timelines. This would also benefit future customers. I know several who are about to buy a different pump because there is no update and they don't know when or if the controller will be released.

update sort of
update sort of
not sure if I have permission to post this but hey what the heck. I email EcoTech this morning just telling them we really like a response I got a email back fairly quickly sounds like we need to be just a little more paitent
the response was:
Hello Dave,
We're in the final moments here. People just need to be patient a
little bit longer while we get our infrastructure where we need it to
release the relevant information.

I think he saying
I think he saying
there will be news very very soon when they started this they told us they would not rush the product and risk problems after shipping like the 1st realease of the vortech if anything they are probably guilty of over testing and overdoing at this point. per sonly I rather have them get it right or as close to it before the realease then rushing it.. I really don't think we have to wait much longer

I would rather have a tested working product but information is nice too. Stuff gets delayed all the time and is just a fact of life.
Personally for me, I didn't buy mine till I heard that they had the wireless controller shown at MACNA or whatever conference it was with Melev. Then I bought my other one when I heard the single controller would be coming out in July if I recall.
So, any info is better then none imo. I will throw in I love the product and hope to see something new soon!

Glad you posted Robster!
Just to confirm some speculation I had earlier in this thread, I am now releasing the results of my fan test.
Tank room temps. vary from 75F to 82F.
At approximately 2/3 power the subject MP-40 ran between 125F and 138F. At 100% it ran between 135F and 148F. (These are fin temps., not internal!)
I placed a dedicated fan on that pump and cranked it up to 100%. I have now measured fin temps. averaging 102F - 105F. So, in my situation, I just need to find some small, powerful, clip-on fans...anyone know a good source?
Maybe Eco-Tech could make this an add-on unit too huh?

I use cheap clip on personal fans on my controller to keep the temp below 80.
I get them a Wally World and if I remember they're under $10.

Sorry, they're hooked up to my Ranco temp controller and only come on when the tank temp gets to 79. I should actually have one on a timer blowing accross the t-5's when they are on.
With your application you may need to run them on low all the time.
Google the fan, you can probably get them online somewhere.
