Difference between 6100 and 6105?

[Milad]

What is the difference between the two other than how they look? It looks like they are basically the same gph and can both be controlled. Which is better?

Both of them are controllable, 6105 is newer model. It is a little bit smaller than 6000, it has different shape and also can be set to two different max. volumes of output (7.000 l/hod by using 18V DIP switch and 13.000l/hod by 24V DIP switch).
I think it's already possible to buy just 6105. The price was almost same.

the new jumper are 12v and 18v I think... the first gen 6105 was 15v and 24v

The 6105 basically replaced both the 600 and 6100, by changing to 12V it does about 2000gph, at 18V it does about 3400 gph. It uses roughly 12W less power at full power than the predecessor and does about 200gph more flow. The 6100 no longer is supported, you can still get small parts but all major parts like the driver, power supplies and motor are out of production. The other advantage of the 6105 is it can be swiveled in all directions. I can't really say one is better than the other, the 6100 was a proverbial brick outhouse. The torroid power supply was virtually indestructible. Switching to laptop DC power supplies gave the advantage of battery back up and lighter weight (reduced shipping costs) and being able to get a replacement at any computer/electronics store in a pinch, but they don't last nearly as long, I wouldn't expect the new style power supply to last more than 3 years, they are not too expensive though. On the other hand the old drivers could be finicky, if the heat sink didn't make the best contact the transistors would burn out. In the big picture the advantages of using less power, more flow and aiming the pump probably make the 6105 the superior pump, not to mention the smaller size.

this is a excellent pump with so much power - 6105

Thanks Tunze .
