    Can these be controlled via controller? Does anyone know? Alternatively, what if I ripped the controller off a MP10 (or bought one as a spare) and tried to wire one of these into it; could I get the nifty flow pattern of a Vortech on a closed loop system?

    So it is impossible to control these except by manual adjustment at the controller, or are you just saying using an existing controller won't work?

    If you were to Frankenstein the controller from a Vortech to this it wouldn't work, it would require serious modification and even then it may not work. The controller for the Vortech couldn't handle the power needed to control the pump. I do get your idea though and it's awesome. I may get with some of our CET majors and see if they can design something.

    Looks like the same pump as the RLSS Waveline series. I own one and love it so far. It is quiet and I love the controllability. They haven't been out for long enough to evaluate durability. No problems after 3 months.

    I concur as a fellow owner, silent and faultless operation. I do like the steady ramping when switching presets.
