Tunze has made design changes already to the 6105, they used a wider nozzle and jumped up the voltage. The nanostreams did not suffer the same problem. Also, just should be mentioned that the study was conducted by a 3rd party at a competitors(EcoTech) building with equipment donated by them.

I also agree with Eric, no one complained before the study. Put a number on the flow people were happy with and you had several people up in arms.
