Ecotech Vectra S2 Water Pump

Overview of Ecotech Vectra S2 Water Pump

The Ecotech Vectra S2 Water Pump is the compact model in EcoTech Marine's controllable Vectra DC pump lineup. With up to 1,400 GPH of flow, Mobius-ready wireless control, QuietDrive technology, and flexible inline or submersible installation, the Vectra S2 is ideal for smaller to mid-size reef aquariums that need a quiet, controllable, service-friendly return pump.

The S2 is designed for aquarists who want EcoTech control and smart pump features in a smaller footprint. It can be used as a traditional sump return pump or configured for closed-loop circulation, giving reef keepers more flexibility than a basic fixed-speed AC return pump.

Ecotech Vectra S2 Water Pump Features

• Compact controllable flow: Provides up to 1,400 GPH / 5,300 LPH for smaller return systems and compact reef plumbing layouts.
• Mobius-ready wireless control: Allows pump programming, schedules, flow adjustment, and system control through the Mobius app environment.
• QuietDrive technology: EcoTech's QuietDrive driver helps reduce DC motor noise while maintaining smooth pump control.
• Return or closed-loop use: Can be configured as a return pump or used for closed-loop circulation depending on the aquarium setup.
• Inline or submersible installation: Sealed motor and magnetic drive design allow flexible internal or external installation.
• QuickCouple fittings: Included couplers simplify installation, removal, cleaning, and service.
• Rotatable volute: Pump head can be repositioned to better align with the plumbing route.
• Return pump calibration: Smart calibration helps match output to the aquarium's overflow and sump system.
• Feed Mode: Temporarily idles the pump so food is not immediately pulled into the overflow and filtration system.
• Speed Lock: Helps prevent accidental changes to the selected pump output once the desired setting is established.

Compatibility/Notes for Ecotech Vectra S2 Water Pump

• Best suited for smaller to mid-size aquarium return systems, compact sumps, reactors, manifolds, and closed-loop applications where the S2 flow range is appropriate.
• Actual delivered flow will be lower than maximum flow once head height, pipe diameter, elbows, valves, outlets, and equipment restrictions are factored in.
• Input and output fittings are compatible with standard PVC pipe.
• For best performance when using EcoTech Battery Backup in return pump configuration, a Vectra Battery Backup Booster may be required.
• Battery Backup, Battery Backup Booster, PVC pipe, valves, unions, fittings, and controller accessories are sold separately unless otherwise stated.
• Choose the S2 when compact size, quiet operation, and controllable flow are more important than maximum large-system output.

Directions for Ecotech Vectra S2 Water Pump

• Confirm the aquarium's target turnover rate and estimate flow after head pressure and plumbing restrictions.
• Install the pump submersed in the sump or externally inline according to EcoTech's instructions.
• Use the included QuickCouple fittings to make maintenance and pump removal easier.
• Rotate the pump volute if needed to improve plumbing alignment.
• Select return pump or closed-loop operation during setup.
• Calibrate the pump after installation and fine-tune the output for stable overflow and sump performance.
• Perform routine cleaning to prevent debris, calcium buildup, and reduced flow over time.
