In addition to expanded compatibility, the DDCT-01s also provides slightly improved performance, with slightly reduced power consumption."
That blurb was put there partially because I had to make a slight design modification to make the top compatible with the smaller impeller inlet eye that Laing switched to with the DDC-3 series pumps. Remember, my original top was built around the DDC-2 pump (which had a larger inlet eye). At this point, because Laing discontinued the older pumps, I'd hope that everyone would be designing for the DDC-3 series (in which case, compatibility shouldn't be an issue).

Honestly, though, I'm kinda hoping that Eddy's top gives me a good, solid reason to redesign mine... because I'm pretty certain that I can get more out of these great little pumps and nothing breeds innovation like a little competition.

Hi el rolio!
