Those original “Red Dragon 2 DC Pumps” just wont go away. From Royal Exclusiv to Honcar to Abyzz Venotec (fka Schunk), now the Dutch company Sido is offering a similar looking DC pump named the Blue Eco under the Aqua Forte brand.
The pump appears nearly identical, save for blue rather than red molded plastic and additional fins on the motor. Additionally the controller is strikingly similar to the earlier RD2 models.
Since the “RD2 falling out”, Honcar and its partners have been shopping these pumps to anyone and everyone. We here at GBD even received some messages to see if we’d be interested in this OEM DC pump. At least in this case Aqua Forte is marketing these to a better market–freshwater ponds.
Update: It’s still unknown who is making these pumps for whom. Most recently Klaus at Royal Exclusiv showed images of this pump in testing. Is this revamped RD2 Classic that Royal Exclusiv will be selling to the freshwater market? Who knows.
