Hey Guys, I’m upgrading to a waterbox 165.4 and I currently ran a Vectra S2 on a Waterbox 100.2. I’m wondering if the S2 would work for the 165.4 or should I upgrade to the M2?
 
The s2 will definitely work since it goes up to 1400gph and the 165.4 has a sump size of 50 gallons. This gives you a turn over rate in your sump, at full power, of 28x and you really only need 10x. If you try it and it’s too loud on the higher settings, upgrade to the m2 and run it on a low setting to be quitter.
