    More RD2 Look-a-likes: Blue Eco DC Pumps from Aqua Forte

    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.

      I think everybodys is 100% completely misinformed
      The technology of the Blue Eco is totally different that that from redevils red dragon or whatsoever.
      Only look at the controllers than you see already the difference
      Red Devil is old 4 pole square wave technology and Blue eco is in 8 pole square wave technology and is not activated with a dc current at all but in Acivated
      So controller are inside and outside totally different
      Pumps are inside also totally different
      Blue Eco is already running for over 1 year with containerloads and the first problen still did not appear
      Blu Eco is asls CE and TUV approved and full service is given 24 hours per day at 5 july 2010 all Blue eco models all totally sold out and dealers are yelling for new ones.
      The designer and manufacturer

      By the way
      Blue Eco Pumps has nothing to do with Honcar at all
      Honcar is only copiing and has no knowledge at all They also have no molds They only copy paperwork and color the red colors into blue
