GiantBen Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Are the driver boxes for an MP10/MP10ES/MP20 swappable? Meaning, if I had a (blue) driver box for an MP20, and bought a new MP10ES, would the MP20 dirver box be able to run the MP10ES at a higher GPH? Would this work with an older MP10, and not the newer MP10ES? Thanks. Link to comment
levitationDrew Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Wow. Took me a couple of read throughs to wrap my head around this one. It is late and im tired so I may still not get it. So you have a new mp10ES and and older mp20. You want to switch the control boxes to try and get more power to your mp10ES. I have not tried this but I know that the mp20 was designed to run the same pump and motor as the mp40 albeit with a lower voltage and amperage power brick making it slower. The mp10 and the newer mp10ES on the other hand have a different motor and pump. This would probably render your idea a bad one. The mp10 motor and pump would not last long at the higher voltage and speed. Link to comment

GiantBen Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 What really happened was someone was selling an MP20 driver for $20. I was planning to buy an MP10 anyway and thought about driving the MP10 with it. EcoMarine says this won't work, as they have different engines. I thought I read somewhere that it would work, but maybe that was MP20/MP40. Maybe I dreamed it. Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 An mp20 can be upgraded to an mp40 so that is what is confusing you then. Link to comment
