As a return pump, this smart feature prevents back siphoning if the pump is turned down and also provides a neutral flow condition in feed mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll Vectra pumps are compatible with the EcoTech ReefLink and the Mobius app. The Reeflink provides completely wireless access to the world of EcoSmart Live, the web-based aquarium command center from EcoTech Marine. The Mobius app is an innovative new control platform for your EcoTech Marine products. A core rethinking of how products connect and function make Mobius one of the simplest and smartest control apps you'll ever use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll Vectra’s are also compatible with the EcoTech Battery Backup, which can keep the pump running in the event of a power cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e        RETURN PUMP              CLOSED LOOP                  INLINE                       SUBMERSIBLE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-49483\" src=\"https:\/\/ecotechmarine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Return_Pump_v2.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecotechmarine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Return_Pump_v2.jpg 493w, https:\/\/ecotechmarine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Return_Pump_v2-300x260.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-49484\" src=\"https:\/\/ecotechmarine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Closed_Loop_v2.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecotechmarine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Closed_Loop_v2.jpg 493w, https:\/\/ecotechmarine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Closed_Loop_v2-300x260.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-49485\" src=\"https:\/\/ecotechmarine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Inline_v2.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecotechmarine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Inline_v2.jpg 493w, https:\/\/ecotechmarine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Inline_v2-300x260.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-49486\" src=\"https:\/\/ecotechmarine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Submersible_v2.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecotechmarine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Submersible_v2.jpg 493w, https:\/\/ecotechmarine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Submersible_v2-300x260.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReturn Pump M\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eodes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstant Speed - \u003c\/strong\u003eConstant 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeed Mode - \u003c\/strong\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed Lock - \u003c\/strong\u003eSpeed 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosed Loop Modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLagoonal Random - \u003c\/strong\u003eLagoonal Random mode simulates a low-energy lagoon environment.

This method of control is inherently inefficient for two reasons. 1) The AC pump purchased must often be overpowered for your given setup to allow for flexibility. 2) 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActive Feedback - \u003c\/strong\u003eWhen used with the ReefLink, your Vectra pump can send you performance and status alerts right to your mobile device or computer.
