Need power adapter help MP10 and Vectra L1
I bought a bunch of used stuff and it included an MP10 and the L1 pump. The power adapter fits both, but I'm not sure which one it really belongs to. I don't want to underpower the L1 pump since it's being used as a return with about 11 ft of head pressure.
The adapter I have says the following on it: autec power supply Model: gpe072d-320225w P/N: dt720d-320225w Approval No: gma-103322-ea-009 Also, ecotech wants something like $150 for this cord. Is there a generic replacement anywhere I can use? I can't find any exact replacement. |

I'll figure something out eventually. I'm sick of these companies buying $5 power adapters from china and then selling them for $150. I think many of these companies purposely use power adapters that are uncommon voltages, just so they can mark them up a lot.

Yah, I am about done with eco tech... I have been getting the run around on specs...
I have mp10's, mp40 qd, and a m1 vectra... I contact them to find out the specs on the power supplies so I can match them up after I moved the tank, and just get the run around... grr...

Yes...that does help some. Now I'm at least sure I got the right one on the MP10. I have ordered one for the vectra and will post up if it works well.

I noticed that the Vectra L1 doesn't even have anything on the pump telling how much power it needs. I thought there had to be a label on all electronic devices telling that info. I have three radions, an MP40, MP10, and vectra L1. The radions are nice lights. The software sucks. They couldn't put in a cancel or save button on the computer software??? and then made it web based also. |

I ordered one for $16.80 and it works like a charm.
The story, to make sure I don't mislead anybody unintentionally: I bought an L1 as part of a tank breakdown package. Turns out that I didn't get the power adapter. I then bought a new MP40. A few weeks later, an old mag24 return pump failed, so I wanted to put the L1 in its place. I borrowed the adapter off of the MP40 and put it on the L1. It worked well, so I wanted to find another cord so I could use both pumps. Therefore, I can't really say that this power adapter is exactly what comes with the L1 pump. I just know I've run it for about a week and a half without any problems at all. I'm pumping up about 11ft and it puts out enough that I can't run it wide open or the overflow begins getting pretty noisy. Here is the part I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 In case that ad gets closed on amazon, here are the specs: XINY AC Switching Power Adapter DC 32V/3A 32V 3A 96W Power Supply Adapter AC 100v-240v Transformers Interface 5.5x2.5mm Suitable |
