VorTech MP40W SOLD

I'm in Vernon, Okanagan Valley. Would like to sell this unit or trade for an MP10WES. Trade for MP10 I'm thinking straight across, selling price how about $300 shipped anywhere in Canada? Outside of country price would have to be adjusted for added shipping cost.

I got this pump used from another hobbyist a year or so ago. I've been keeping it as a spare so it has only seen a few hours of running time while in my possession. It runs perfectly, the dry side being among the more quiet ones of the 4 I own. It's a smooth runner. The rubber boot feeding the electrical cord into the dry side has some cracks in it, but this does not affect the operation whatsoever. I had taped it up with some electrical tape but removed this for the photo below. I'll entertain offers within reason, but have no problem with holding out for the asking price. Ideally I'd like the trade option since I wish to add an MP10 to the back glass of my tank to work with the two MP40s running now.

Mike I have a 20 if you wanna then all we have to do is trade the power cabling and supply and keep the wet side.

Hey thanks Mike, but sorry I'm not looking for an MP20. I'd like the smaller footprint of an MP10 on the back glass. I recently shut down a canister filter that was providing flow from the back glass & am now running an AquaClear powerhead in it's place. It's a monstrosity back there, but works for running the carbon I used to have in the canister. I have another MP40WES that I will likely put there until I can get my hands on the MP10. The MP40WES I still have as a spare can be dialed down for that purpose, same idea as an MP20 would be. Just can't sync either of them with the current Master/Slave pair I've got going, (flow would be too much) but I could with an MP10WES. Whew, long story, but thanks again, can't use a 20.

Still up for grabs.

Tempting, very tempting. I've got an MP10 ES (non-wireless) that I wouldn't mind upgrading. I like the pump but I've got the dry-side wedged in place to keep it from falling off my 1/2" glass hahah so the extra holding power of the MP40 would be welcome. I know you're lookin for a WES model to work with your MP40, but as you know the ES can be made wireless for about $40. Lemme know if you're interested.

And if you decide to sell your MP10es, let me know as I'd like a third one for my 75g

Hmm, maybe we could do something. As you can see the MP40 I'm selling/trading is a W, but not an ES. I just decided to use my other spare MP40W ES on the back glass & it seems to be working ok synched with the other two, but would still prefer an MP10W ES back there. Not sure I'm prepared to trade a non wireless MP10 straight across for the MP40W though. If I was sure I could use the MP40W ES driver for the MP10, would probably go for it. But another $40 to upgrade the 10 to wireless is not that appealing as a straight trade at the moment.

I hear ya, and to be honest I'm actually a bit happy to hear you say that as I really don't need to make a change anyway, just couldn't resist!

Ha, ha, well instead of the trade, you could always just buy the MP40W..... there might be a bit of room to manoeuver on the price...
