Vortech Gen2 Magnet Upgrade Kit

Upgrade Kit and old pump




True to their word, EcoTech Marine sent me the replacement/upgrade kit for the original Vortech MP40 pump that I purchased last year. If you look closely at the screw head on the right, you can see a deep corrosion hole forming at 11 o'clock.

The black donut on the lower left of this pic is the new magnet which is coated in a resin to protect it from the corrosive action that salt water is known to have on metals.

The design and power of this pump is still worth recommending. The company has responded quickly and has made the upgrade kits available for a low price.

EcoTech Marine discussion is here at Reef Central.
