Ecotech marine에서 Ecosmart라고 하는 Vortech Driver를 새로 출시 하였습니다. Vortech의 드라이버는 디자인과 독창성이 매우 뛰어난 것으로 유명합니다. 이번에도 기대를 저버리지 않고 깔끔한 외관으로 출시되었습니다.
기존의 MP10,40모델에 대해서는 드라이버 업그레이드가 가능하지만 20모델은 업그레이드가 불가능하다고 합니다. (EchSmart 드라이버가 장착된 모델에는 모델명 맨 마지막에 ES가 붙습니다. MP10ES 이런식입니다)

Ecotech Marine released the EcoSmart Driver today. This is an upgrade for the existing Wireless Wave Driver or WWD and will be included on all new EcoTech vortech pumps. The new driver has improved wirless range new “EcoSmart” wave modes, Auto Tune mode, and additional features. “The wireless range of the EcoSmart wirelessly enabled drivers has been significantly increased. This allows for the controllers of slave pumps to be located further from sight or even in separate locations.”

The EcoSmart Driver features many new modes including:

  • Improved Wireless Range
  • On/Off Button
  • Wave Auto-Tune Mode
  • EcoSmart Nutrient Transport Mode
  • EcoSmart Tidal Swell Mode
  • Dark Mode
  • New and Improved Night Mode, Feed Mode, Battery Backup Power Meter

So, what IS the EcoSmart Driver?

The EcoSmart driver is an upgrade for our existing Wireless Wave Driver (WWD) and will be included on all new EcoTech pumps. This driver has a new and improved wireless range, new “EcoSmart” wave modes, Auto Tune mode, and much much more.

With the introduction of the new EcoSmart driver to the market, we will be offering a wireless version of the MP10 which gives the discerning aquarist much more control over their small or medium size reef aquarium.

In addition to exciting new modes such as Wave Auto Tune and the EcoSmart multi pump modes, the wireless range of the EcoSmart wirelessly enabled drivers has been significantly increased. This allows for the controllers of slave pumps to be located further from sight or even in separate locations.

EcoSmart Tidal Swell Mode
In this EcoSmart mode water is circulated to create a harmonic balance in your aquarium reminiscent of the changing flow conditions that would be found in nature. Over the course of several hours, the flow pattern will go from very chaotic with an emphasis on left to right flow direction to an emphasis on right to left flow direction, all the while experiencing calm period in between and followed by a great surge of flow at the very end of the cycle. Adjusting the dial changes the maximum speed achieved at any time during this mode. Slave pumps should be positioned opposite the master and on the back of the tank to take full advantage of the EcoSmart modes.

EcoSmart Nutrient Transport Mode
In this EcoSmart mode, water is circulated in a two phase program consisting of wave motion to stir up detritus and surging motion to move the detritus into your overflow where it can be skimmed out. This effect promotes maximum health and nutrient export, as well as increased growth for sensitive corals such as SPS. Adjusting the dial changes the maximum speed achieved at any time during this mode. Slave pumps should be positioned opposite the master and on the back of the tank to take full advantage of the EcoSmart modes.

Classic Reef-Crest and Lagoonal Random Modes
In random mode you can toggle between two different modes, Reef-Crest and Lagoonal. When a pump is in Lagoonal Random Mode, the dial is used to set the maximum operational speed, and the driver will automatically randomize the pumps output to simulate either a high (Reef-Crest) or low (Lagoonal) energy reef environment. If this pump is a master, the associated slave pumps will replicate the master in sync or anti-sync modes.





웨이브 모드는 기존의 4개 모드(Lagoonal, Long/short pulse reef crest), 에 새롭게 3개의 모드(wave auto tune, 가 추가되었습니다. Nutrient Transport, Tidal swell mode)
wireless 범위가 넓어졌고 다른 기능에 대한 보완도 이뤄진 것으로 보입니다.
다만 이런 새로운 모드들의 추가는 Vortech 2대이상에서 큰 효과를 발휘할 수 있으므로 1개를 사용하면 차라리 비싼 ES를 사는것 보다 예전것을 그대로 사용하는 것이 더 낫다고 생각하는 Reefer도 있습니다.

昨日少し時間があったので、ＥｃｏＳｍａｒｔのフルマニュアルに目を通しました。で、一つの結論は、2台以上Ｖｏｒｔｅｃｈを所有していないと、コントローラをアップグレードする価値は非常に小さいってことです。理由は単純、新機能のＴＳＭ(Tidal Swell Mode)とＮＴＭ(Nutrient Transport Mode)は複数台のＶｏｒｔｅｃｈの使用を想定しているから。特にＮＴＭはそうみたい。マニュアルの図を見ても、複数個所に付けられたＶｏｒｔｅｃｈによりそれぞれ理想の波を起こしています。
バッテリーバックアップを接続している人は複数台のＶｏｒｔｅｃｈを使用している可能性が高いですし、夜間モードや餌食モードは旧型にもオプションは違えど機能はありますし。1台だけで使用するなら、私なら旧型をお勧めします。値段も安いですしね。

어찌되었던 간에 EcoTech는 끊임없이 사용자들의 voice를 듣고 있으며 계속 발전해 나가는 것이 눈에 보입니다.Customer Service도 예전보다는 많이 좋아져가는 것 같습니다. 관심있으신 분들께 참고가 되었으면 합니다.
