Jason It's in the works so I have been told ,however ,I think the controller will be released before that.

Lets not hold our breath ,these guys do test their products for a while before release.

How about a single controller for 1 vortech?, I don't need to control 10 vortechs, any chance of that happening?

Hi Wayner ,You can control 1 or up to 10 pumps wirelessly

Tks, but wouldn't a single controller be alot cheaper than a multi controller?, those of us who just want to use 1 vortech are stuck buying the multi controller, unless, they plan on coming out with a single in the future?

That is the whole ponit of the controller being wireless ,the reason that can control up to 10 pumps is the software can recognize that many pumps ,there will be no physical connections to the controller ,so no need to put extra connections or circuitry in the controller for the extra pumps,You are not paying anything extra for this feature

so without the controller you choose your intended flow rate (between 30 & 100%) is this correct? will it work with other wavemakers that just cycle regular powerheads on and off?

without the wave controller you can only dial the amount of flow you want out of the pump. the pump comes with a control box with a dial to adjust the rate. when you buy the wave controller it will then control the unit wirelessly up to 10 pumps

I have heard lots of bad outcomes with using or wavemaker devices with this pumps. There have almost been no success.

Recently I've been experiencing an internal rattle or knocking noise coming from inside the motor housing. It's really noticeable when it's on high. Anyone else experience this?
