The Vectra Advantage

- Quiet Operation
- Controllability
Cost Savings
Traditional AC pumps, when used as a return pump for your sump, are flow controlled through the use of a choke valve. This method of control is inherently inefficient for two reasons. 1) The AC pump purchased must often be overpowered for your given setup to allow for flexibility. 2) By adding artificial impedance to your flow, electricity is wasted. The Vectra pump will always operate at the optimum efficiency because there is no need to use a flow restricting valve to achieve your desired flow rate.

so far so good By Brian on 7/18/2019
Brian would recommend this product to a friendVery quiet pump and a lot of power in a little package. The input and output diameters are a little odd though. I plumbed the previous pump with 2" in and 1.5" out so I had to get a couple reducers to make this fit. Pumps well though at the rate indicated on the box for my head height. We'll see if this has any longevity though. The L1s melted themselves to death so I hope they fixed that problem. -
Powerful and quiet centrifuge pump By David on 6/22/2019
David would recommend this product to a friendI’ve been using the Vectra L2 for a few months now at 40% power on my 210 tank/sump and I’m glad I bought this pump over the competition. Previously I was using a Tunze 1073.11 and the noise difference between the two is night and day. This pump is amazingly quiet and powerful. I have nothing but positive feedback and highly recommend over anything else. Except for obviously an Abyzz pump. Save a few hundred dollars and buy this instead. -
