MP10 MP40 Vortech

How can you control the eco MP10 and MP40 from an Apex controller, and still use their wireless capabilities

You purchase the WXM module. It is cabled to the controller via the Aquabus, then communicates wirelessly with the various VorTech drivers.

I have 4 MP40w's running, only one of them is an ES. Can I control the other 3 in the ES modes, such as nutrient export, through the Apex? I was under the impression that the ES would control the other pumps, so I bought 1 upgrade, but apparently they all have to be ES to use the new programs
Do they still have to all be ES if I get the WXM module to control them?

Only ES drivers can be ran in ES mode. Your other 3 MP40's won't run in ES mode.

Both will work with the WXM module but as pointed out above, only the ES models will support the ES modes. Has nothing to do with Neptune - it's EcoTech software that controls that.

Thanks. This thing does more than I ever imagined already, so I thought I'd ask
