The rear pump 2 was completely dead a replacement was introduce while I decide what to do, recommendations?
1. I thought on just buying another Sicce and leave the things as they are, no fancy flows, no more cost and no control through the Apex.
2. Buy the 3 new Sicce DC pumps but I think I cannot control them with my Apex?
3. Buy 2 Ecotech Vortex and would have to buy also the Apex module to control them, this would also mean wires visible in the tank....
4. Buy another COR20 and get a triple divider to substitute the 3 current pumps.
This all depends on your views on maintenance and ease of access. For me it was a pain. I understand the reasons but.......
3. There are no wires in the tank Pancho with the Vortech’s (dont buy the Vortex versions there copies! Lol)
There is 1 wire about 6 inches (depending on depth) on the outside going up that’s it, and you can’t see it from the inside or looking into. Take a look at that picture on my build thread it shows exactly what they look like.
I don’t think I like option 4 in an S series, although I guess that’s basically like a closed loop system.
If I had replaced the rear pumps, I quiet like Eheim’s as there fairly reliable but also quiet, maybe NYOS as well. But then so are the Sicce
It’s all personal choice at the end of the day of course, there are many ways to do things.
