Base Station vs standalone Versa\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single Versa VX-1 pump ships with its own power supply and its own mounting bracket, so you don't need a Base Station to run one or two pumps. The Base Station earns its keep once you're running three or four dosers – calcium, alkalinity, magnesium and a trace element, say – and don't want four separate power bricks fighting for space in the stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for consolidating up to four Versa VX-1 dosing pump heads onto one rail and one power supply.

Maintenance – tube replacement and lubrication – is done at the individual pump head, on the schedule EcoTech publishes for the Versa system: lubricate every 3,000 gallons treated or 6 months, and replace the tube assembly every 6,000 gallons or 12 months, whichever comes first for each pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMains-powered accessory rated for 110–240 VAC, 50\/60 Hz – suitable for the Australian 240 V supply without a separate transformer.

The Base Station shares power and physical mounting, but each pump head is still scheduled individually through the Mobius app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it work on Australian 240 V power?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes – the power supply accepts 110–240 VAC, 50\/60 Hz, so it runs on Australian mains without a converter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EcoTech Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55293350838563,"sku":"MPVXB-1","price":295.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/versa-base-station-43876725162275.webp?v=1790240280","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/versa-base-station","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
