VorTech MP40w Question

If I was to purchase this item, but wanted a second power head does one need to buy 2 units or can you buy just the power head to add to the first one cause i read you can run multiple power heads. hope I'm making sense here. I guess what I'm trying to say is if I bought the 499.00 dollar one and want a second power head do i need to spend 1000.00 or can you just get the power head only at a cheaper price?
thanks for any feedback.

You need to spend the 1000.

Each unit needs its own controller and power supply to work. $500 a shot, no way around that.

That's what I thought thanks guys.

If it is just the MP40W you are looking for you can get them for around $420 now that the ES model is out.

I think the ES is a great upgrade as it has some features the regular MP40W missed (and probably should have had). It is easier to set and tune etc. and the on/off button is a welcome addition. With the MP40W the only way to turn off the pump was to unplug it which lost some settings.

The only problem with the ES at the moment is a bug in the timing of the night mode but they are apparently working on a firmware update that will fix that.
