Like the M1 and L1, the S1 also works on EcoSmart Live (ESL). If you do not own any Ecotech Marine products already, then you may not know that EcoSmart devices can be controlled from anywhere in the world using the web-based control system. This is done via the cloud using Ecotech Marine’s Reeflink WiFi hub, which can control any number of Ecotech devices.
When used with the ReefLink, your Vectra pump can send performance and status alerts right to your mobile device or computer. The return pump is the heart of any aquarium and without it a tank can crash in under 24 hours.
Through ESL, the pump can be configured as a return or closed-loop pump. Most importantly, the pump can be calibrated for a flow rate that is appropriate for your particular application.
There are 5 modes available in Return Pump Mode: Constant Speed Mode, Feed Mode, Speed Lock Mode, ESL via Mobile Device, and Battery Backup Mode. In Closed Loop Mode you have your choice of setting it up in Lagoonal Random, Reef Crest Random, or Gyre Mode.
The Vectra S1 is slightly smaller than the M1 and L1 models. This smaller footprint could mean the difference in whether or not it is able to fit into a smaller sump’s return pump compartment.
