Seio Controller and Koralia Pumps

mattiej · 04/04/2008, 10:36 AM

I was wondering if the new variable speed Koralia pumps would work with the Seio controller. I believe the transformer for the koralias are on the controller but is this the case with the Seio system? Also has anybody used the Seio pumps? Are they any good?

The new Koralias that are controllable are DC pumps. The Seio controller is an AC unit. I believe also that the Koralias have or will have a proprietary plug that plus into the Koralia controller anyway. So even if you wanted to, you couldnt burn up the new Koralias with the seio controller. If this isnt what you are asking, I apologize.

Thanks that is exactly what I was trying to figure out-whether the Koralias would even work on the Seio controller. $400 for the two pump set up isn't too bad but I was hoping for a slightly better price on this system.

I have been running 2 seio 1500 and 2 koralias 4's on the seio controller with no problems. Just replaced the set-up with a Tunze package.These will be for sale shortly.
