Despite the \"2\" in the name, each size fits both generations of that pump — an S2 impeller works in an S1 volute as well as an S2, and the same applies across the M and L sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine EcoTech part\u003c\/strong\u003e — the impeller assembly EcoTech supplies as a spare for the Vectra range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross-generation fit\u003c\/strong\u003e — unlike the coupling kit, one impeller per size fits both Gen 1 and Gen 2 volutes of that size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold per pump size\u003c\/strong\u003e — order the S2, M2 or L2 impeller to match your pump, regardless of whether it's the Gen 1 or Gen 2 version.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRestores lost flow\u003c\/strong\u003e — the part to replace when output has dropped or the pump has become noisier despite regular cleaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVariant\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart\/SKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEcoTech Vectra S1 and S2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMPVP151-00143\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEcoTech Vectra M1 and M2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMPVP151-00144\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEcoTech Vectra L1 and L2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMPVP151-00145\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich one do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the impeller to your pump's size, not its generation — an S2-labelled impeller fits both the Vectra S1 and S2, an M2 impeller fits both M1 and M2, and an L2 impeller fits both L1 and L2.
