Hi Ray, I'm kinda confused. Your site says rf wireless module not included. Could I still use this to upgrade my mp40 wes to QD and sync it to an Apex WXM?

Yes sir, simply swap in your RF.

Hmmm. It has a rf crystal set? I didn't even notice when I took it apart lol. Good to know!

Any chance you could put an mp40 QD driver aside for me until tonight? I was going to make an order for Rich Bblinks and I this evening.

Non issue, we will have some left over by tonight.

Let me clarify on the RF module. These specific kits DO NOT have the RF module included. They are specifically for wES pumps to QD - meaning the customer would already have the RF module in there wES controller. The RF module is to be removed from the wES controller and put inside the new QD controller.

The MP10 upgrade will also work with non wireless versions.

Thanks

Thank you Ray!

MP10 UPGRADES SOLD-OUT. Second batch on the way

I've never owned a Vortech...I imagine they must be very loud.

What would you say the difference that these quite upgrades make is?

They were louder than the QD's but I would not say they were very loud. The motor is on the outside, so you would here it ramping up/down. The new Mp40QD is up to 90% quieter.

Thanks

[gobytron]

thanks for that.

I guess you save yourself a tonne of heat in the tank by having the motor on the outside.

Pretty cool that they've devised a way to make it 90% quieter...I can see why they are selling so fast.

I'm going to hear this one out (pun intended). I have a Vortech MP40 collecting dust because it's so noisy. One of my clients has one that's very quiet though, not sure what the difference is. I'm interested to see what everyone says about the QD in the upcoming weeks. :)

Ordered mine last night. I will do an upgrade thread and possibly a noise test of both.

I've had my mp40 qd since they came out and I'm pleased. 100% short pulse mode with the fastest pulsing and I can only start to hear it from 6 inches away putting my ear up to it. Standing 3' away in front of the tank and I hear nothing.

That's amazing! I hope you're not doing this in a room with one or more children sharing the space as that will significantly skew your findings.

With just the tank running was how I tested the noise level. These upgrades are the real deal. Also realy like how the new 40 wetsides are built the same as the mp10 wetsides. Durability should be good too. Future talk on these pumps won't invole talk about noise.
