I'm pretty sure the wide flow kit is not going to increase flow and is still not recommended for longer tanks if you need the reach these powerheads are known for. I'm glad the flow numbers will be closer to advertised but wonder if the pumps are designed to hold up long-term at the rotational speed.

I found my 6105 to be noisy when running the 24v jumpers. Can't hear it turn at 18v (unless I put my ear to the tank) but at 24v there was a noticeable hum from a few feet away from the tank. Just a heads up..

How did this turn out? Any more news and do they become noisy with the 24v? Thanks

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

I received an email from Xenia North America yesterday, my jumpers are in the mail. I'll let you know how the pumps perform. I don't think I'll have to worry about noise, right now when they run at max speed you can't hear them at all.

Me too me too, I sent out an email to Phil and he replied right away, acknowledging the issue and the corrective measure that tunze has put forward. Couple of weeks later worla, another email from Phil stating that the jumper has been sent out. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

You guys get your jumpers yet?

I don't know HOW this could happen without Tunze knowing but EVERY last 24V jumper I received are slightly too wide to FIT into the transformers! I tried each one in each of my transformers... they are too wide!

I'll shoot Phil an email... I can't believe it. Wonder if we'll be asked to sand them down? It would work I suppose.
