will certain wave mode made the pump last longer?

[ganjero]

I have this question for echotech, will certain wave mode made the pump last longer? Will lagoon mode mode make the pump last longer since reef crest and pulse mode make it click and change speed fast and constantly ? Have you guys tested the same pump in the same mode for a long period of time?


Thanks

Hi ganjero,

The faster the pump is run the more wear is placed on the components. Running the pump at full speed constantly is most likely to result in wear however due to the changing frequency of pulse mode frequently people hear noise due to wear more quickly in pulse. I believe that lagoon and reef crest are the easiest on the components. We test all pumps at continuous full speed and pulse mode primarily, however we also test in the random modes.
