    It was my understanding that the upgrade is just the controller. That would be no more flow. Just the ability to wireless link multiple units.

    Description
    The VorTech Wireless Wave Driver will upgrade an MP20 model pump to an MP40w model allowing for wireless communication between this and other MP40w pumps. To execute this upgrade, simply unsnap the MP20 driver box, gentle remove the motor’s plug from the MP20 driver board, and plug this into the new Wireless Wave Driver board. Now, gently snap the new box top onto the base and enjoy the upgraded flow, many modes, and wireless communicating functionally inherent in your new upgraded MP40w pump! Multiple Wireless Wave Drivers can wireless communicate with one another to coordinate random and pulse wave modes.

    so what does it mean by this ....marine depot

    ive been looking into vortechs, and the 40 does provide more flow than a 20, and the 20-40 upgrade changes out your motordrive thing.
