I have never used that one, but besides the Vortech's I use, I also have a 2 head Hydor/Koralia wave maker. This is the version that uses specific pumps with it.

I tried using standard Hydor pumps with other wave makers, and found that the pumps always clanked when going up and down. Not sure about this model made for it, but one thing to check out. Problem was that the powerheads were not made for speeding up or down. I think.

If this model works, give it a try. Personally between the Vortech's or the Hydor, I prefer the Vortechs. More money, but nothing else in my opinion can create the currents or undertows like these.
