VECTRA MODES

RETURN PUMP MODES

Constant Speed

 

Constant Speed mode is the default mode of the Vectra, this makes the pump produce flow at a constant speed that is determined by the position of the dial.

Feed Mode

At the touch of a button the Vectra pump will temporarily pause the current mode and idle allowing food to be added to the tank without being cycled into the overflow and filtration.

Speed Lock

Speed Lock gives you the ability to lock in a desired speed on the pump by disabling the control dial protecting you from accidental and not so accidental unwanted changes in speed.

CLOSED LOOP MODES

Lagoonal Random

Lagoonal Random mode simulates a low-energy lagoon environment. The speed of the pump is changed slowly to recreate the gentle currents of a lagoon.

Reef Crest Random

Reef Crest Random mode simulates a high-energy reef environment.

The pump will change speed frequently and drastically to simulate crashing waves and surging tide. This is a favourite of SPS coral.

Gyre

Gyre mode creates a flow pattern consisting of uniform clockwise and counter clockwise flow levels pulsing at a selected interval between two seconds and two hours.

BATTERY BACKUP COMPATIBLE

In an aquarium with no flow, fish and corals can begin to die in as little as 4 to 10 hours. The Battery Backup is reef tank insurance in an aluminium housing.

By adding the Battery Backup**, your tank is insulated from power interruptions, helping protect your valuable investment -and your tank inhabitants.

*Hours are estimated and will vary depending on battery life, pump mode, and other factors.

** For best performance when in return pump configuration, a Vectra Battery Backup Booster is required.

THE VECTRA ADVANTAGE
Cost Savings

Traditional AC pumps, when used as a return pump for your sump, are flow controlled through the use of a choke valve.

This method of control is inherently inefficient for two reasons.

 

The AC pump purchased must often be overpowered for your given setup to allow for flexibility.

By adding artificial impedance to your flow, electricity is wasted. The Vectra pump will always operate at the optimum efficiency because there is no need to use a flow restricting valve to achieve your desired flow rate.

Active Feedback

 

When used with the ReefLink, your Vectra pump can send you performance and status alerts right to your mobile device or computer.

Your return pump is the heart of your aquarium; the faster you hear about an unexpected issue the more successful you will be as an aquarist.
