anyone tried to using Jebo WP40?

[BCool]

I have mine on a 26x26x18 cube, I don't think 15v is too much. I have the white variable voltage so I can't tell you exactly what voltage I am using. I am using else mode at the long pulse rate.

I ordered a Vortech MP40 about a year ago. Shipped to New Zealand it cost about 650 USD. When it arrived I set it up and minutes later, the wet side wore down and was making a horrible noise, I removed it and checked it, I found that the magnet was rubbing against the back plate and the bearing had some how immediately worn down. Annoyed, I ordered another wetside for around 100usd plus 20usd shipping to new zealand. A month later it arrived and I set it up. Again the same thing happened. So all up I had spent $770 USD and months waiting on this hunk of **** that is the worst hunk of **** i ever brought. I sold the Vortech to someone for $80nzd and to be honest I dont think theyre even worth that. Bottom line. Even if this pump only lasted 1 month, it would be better than the vortech and still 400$ cheaper. Ive ordered it cant wait to try it!

I want to say ecotech has a warrantee on their wet sides. Could have saved you some cash

I want to say when youre buying internationally you dont have time to mess with warranty, mostly you rely on a quality product especially when paying such a price, and i could of saved me a **** load of cash if i didnt buy the thing at all. Vortech MP40 worst product i ever brought, hand on heart. Makes me feel much happier throwing 100usd on this MW-40 pump regardless of outcome. I will update with my review once it arrives.

Please get back on topic Of Jebao WP40 not about MP40

I hate to see this thread close

 

[chercm]

sorry but if you unhappy with Ecotech please call them or even to the sponsor thread and put in your fustration there .

We are talking about WP40 from China and not the MP40 . hope you could understand.

I started this in the intention of spreading the news of a great product from China to every one .

I would like advice from those who have purchased a WP40, whether I should purchase 1 WP 40 or two WP 25's. They will go in a 110, 48 x 18 x 30. I am concerned about the WP40 producing to much flow. I primarily keep SPS with some LPS and Zoa's. Thank you in advice for your feedback.

i have a 48x24x14 with a wp40. it produced too much flow so i had it run on L mode and it was fine. today my universal adapter arrived and im running it at 15v and W1 mode now. seems perfect with the much smaller waves its making. i have another sunsun 5000l/hr wave maker at the back blowing at rocks the wp40 cant reach. generally i think if you have an open island/simplistic scape. you can get away with a wp40 + a smaller normal wavemaker.

I don't keep SPS corals, but I don't think it would be to much in a 110 gallon tank.
I have 1 in a 55 with mainly softies and it was too much for it. I dialed it down and it very nice now, everyone is happy and big.

I'd wait for the WP25.

I have a 90G( 48 1/2 x 18 1/2 x 25 3/8) and love the WP40 on full 24V. I also have an 1150 & a 1500 koralia(that will be replaced by WP25's eventually) flowing behind my rock work.
I run it on else mode & have no issues with sand storms or too much flow. One of my clowns likes to "surf" the end of the stream at night when just the blues are on.
I'll probably end up pointing one of the WP25s towards the front (opposite the WP40) as I wont need that much flow in behind the rock work.
I keep mainly zoas & LPS with a few sticks, but im prepping to make the switch to majority SPS with a little zoa garden in the corner. but I still have great growth on my zoas & lps despite all this flow.

Any pix of your tank ?

Just ordered my RA+, I can't wait to play around with it and my wp40s!

 

[Sacohen]

I hope to get to mine this weekend.
I'm reading up on running the WP40 on it now.

 

[rrasco]

I finally got my RA hooked up last night. I did not get to hook up the WP40s yet, spent all my time configuring it and re-wiring my electrical, hopefully tonight I'll get to it.

 

[Sacohen]

Yeah. I spent the day yesterday configuring it at work.
Now I need to re-wire my electrical over the weekend and once I get the main things like the lights and pumps working, I'll focus on the WP40 and my de-nitrification chamber.

My lights are simple on/off no LEDS's to ramp up or down yet.

 

[rrasco]

I have the dimming expansion, but for now, I am going to keep running my lights off the controller I built for them. I didn't even do any special programming, just re-wired everything to look nice and go through the RA relay box. I'll need a 2nd one for all my stuff. I did setup my wifi attachment though.

FYI, I believe the Vortech profiles are now part of the RA library, so you don't have to include the functions, just run them. Did you get RA's Jebao cable?

 

[Sacohen]

Yes I got the Jebao cable.
I think I can get away with 1 relay box for now.
All my pumps except the skimmer and the WP40 can run off 1 port with a power strip.
I know we are both excited about setting the WP40 up on the Reef Angel, but we are getting off topic.

PM me if you want.
