It sure looks like EcoTech Marine is set to come out with a remote control of some kind for their line of Vortech pumps. A recent interview that Tim Marks did with NCIIA makes it very clear:
And EcoTech isn’t stopping at the VorTech. “We’re developing a remote control for the VorTech right now,†says Marks, “and we have a number of other products in mind. Eventually we want to launch a complete line of products for advanced aquarists, a line of products that will completely automate the reef-keeping experience.â€
We’re assuming that it would be a wireless remote control as they already utilize a control device unit that is connected to the pump via wires. The “number of other products” in mind is what has us really thinking. What will they come out with next? A wireless control interface would be great. Even better? Launching an app that works on blackberry, iPhone and the android platforms.
