Reeflink or Apex WXM?

[Manny'sReef]

I have two MP10s and a Radion 15 G4 connected to a Reeflink. I'm thinking about getting an Apex and wondering if a WXM is something I should get and get rid of the Reeflink. Thoughts?

I have never used reeflink but have the wxm for radions and mp40s. What is your main reason to switch? I believe you lose some features like acclimation mode.

I'm not sure if I want to switch. Since I'm getting an Apex 2016 I figured it might make sense to have everything under one roof, per se. Is there anything else I would lose?

I use the WXM and I have the same equipment you have. I tried using reeflink and it kept losing my info
I just gave up. I have my APEX so it’s all in one so I’m happy

The wxm doesn’t control the vectra return pumps either, not sure if there is anything else though, I do like the wxm and it’s been easy to use, I never lose connection or programming which is a common complaint I read about with reeflink.

I use the Reeflink and love it. What I like is not depending on just one controller. A lot of people are focusing on a single controller, but if your Apex brakes/stops working, you are left with no control of anything over your entire system until you can get it fixed/repaired. I personally use the GHL P4 for my controller. I switched from Apex in November 2017. I have had no issues with the Reeflink. The Neptune Forum and Facebook pages have tons of threads on WXM issues, so it is good to hear some positives here. As mentioned above, the Vectra can not be controlled by the WXM. The tech in the Vectra is not compatible with the Apex and it will not be in the future. I personally suggest the Reeflink as it is designed specifically for Ecotech products, but that is just my $0.02
