I am not sure if this motor is DC, it looks as though the actual pump has not changed hinting that they’ve stuck with the original AC motor. If that is the case, it’s likely going from AC>DC>AC to change the motor speeds much like the Seio Wavemaker.

A cool, but fairly pricey gadget… I wouldn’t mind trying the AB3000 as a variable speed return pump or for an in-tank closed loop. If the efficiency is there, it could also open up doors in the skimming world.
No word when these will make their way to the U.S. if at all. We typically do not see many stock AB pumps on this side of the pond.
