anyone tried to using Jebo WP40?

[insanefishguy]

If I remember correctly the w2 is an even pulse without stopping but w3 has steps. Something like 9 up to max but 6 down to min

Simon, I was thinking along those same lines on Sunday when I was playing around with equipment. I was using the W1 mode and thought to myself, "I can't imagine that starting and stopping can be all that good for the longevity of the pump", so I switched it to W2 mode. But now that I spend some time thinking about it, I think I'm going to change my opinion on that. It stops because it has no power, it's not like they are applying brakes to make it stop. And spinning back up from a stop or from low speed shouldn't be much different. So now I'm thinking W1 probably isn't any harder on the pump than W2 or W3.

BTW, have you figured out what the difference is between W2 and W3? I gave it a bit of a look when I got the pump and didn't see any difference.

Ron, I think the only way to tell the difference between W2 and W3 is to put the pump in a clean tank with nothing in it but water and play with the knob at different setting and patiently observe the flow pattern. I also can't tell the difference but I wasn't patient enough to give the pump time to show the differences in my DT.

Just curious about a old topic for this pump... Has anybody found out exactly what are the diffrences between W2 and W3 modes?:reading:

 

[insanefishguy]

If you hold the pump in your hand and switch modes you can easily fee what they do.. I'm fairly certain my above post us accurate. W2 being an even and steady up and down and w3 being a longer wind up then a wind down. I think the max and min are equal. Only difference being the intervals

 

[insanefishguy]

If it didn't take me weeks to find the angle that kept almost all of my different corals happy, I'd pop it out and confirm. The problem with a mixed reef is too many different demands. Thinking about it though, I may have the w3 pattern reversed. It may be 6 steps up and 9 down repeating.

 

[insanefishguy]

So I was playing with mine out of the socket and think I figured out w3. Seems to be a up and down but stepped. I think 6 steps to max and then 9 back down to min repeating

Found when I originally played with it out of its socket in march.

@insanefishguy,
Thanks for the info, I plan to pop mine out when I get home tonight. I jsut dont want to stand there for 10 min each mode to see all of the steps. I was just wondering if by now jebo or fishstreet had released a definitive answer on what W2 and W3 do.

 

[mknightryder]

You could just press your ear up tight to the magnet. It humms each mode and you can listen to the difference between what w2 w3 and else modes are doing. Also while listening you can adjust the dial and hear how it shortens or lengthens each mode.

 

[insanefishguy]

Has anyone heard if they will be providing replacement parts. I'm jealous of you guys with silent pumps. I wonder if replacingthe impeller wwould help

 

[Sacohen]

Can anyone give a good description if the difference between W2 and W3? I thought I read one in here yesterday but can't find it now. I don't really see a difference.

It's on the very first post, and on Fish-Street.com's webpage for the pump, but here it is again.

H: Maximum flow fixed-made stream mode (13000L)

L: 1/3 of the maximum flow fixed flow made ​​to flow mode (4300L)

W1: classic mode of making waves (Wavebox Function)

Different type of the tank need to apply different type of the setting:
Adustable the controller on the wavelength is sameas the Tank Size(Long), when the Wave same as the Tank Length is suitable. Revise the clockware button as you need to reduce the wave. When change the setting require at least 10mins to verify if you change the controller button. Watch and try to adjust the best wavelength on your tank

W2,W3(Reef Stream Mode with Adjsutable): ordinary fixed program made ​​stream made ​​wave mode;
This two modes by means of the knob to change the the fixed program's effect, need to be adjusted according to the creatures in the water

W3(Reef Stream Mode): Indefinite program cause stream made ​​wave mode;
According to the aquatic adjustment knob to change indefinite program effects;

Feeding Mode : Press the "FEED" button once, "10min" (blue lights) stop the wavemaker after 10 minutes made ​​waves pump start again. Or direct press the Feed button to back to Normal

Lock knob parameters function: long press the "FEED" key until the "LOCK" red indicator light already locked knob parameter adjustment knob does not change the wave shape. The purpose is to prevent wave after a good tune(Save setting), inadvertently knob again to change the wave-shaped. To unlock to tune waves, long press the "FEED" key until the red indicator light is off you can;

Night Mode (Add one function): It's have a sensor on the controller. When you connection to the night sensor on the controller, it will Add on night mode function

that does help alot of guys that dont understand the functions . thanx for sharing Sacohen

 

[Sacohen]

No problem.

 

[klwheat]

yeah! mine arrived in the mail today. I got the included 2page pamphlet of instructions completely in Japanese (I assume...lol). Well, off to the internet for directions.

Woo Hoo! Finally received my 2nd pump. Only 22 days! To be fair I got my other one in 6 days. Oh well, it's here. My ReefAngel showed up today too.

 

[dougdstecklein]

Finally got mine in the mail today! I ordered it March 25th. I can confirm that the power cord does not work. Luckily, I had an old computer cord that is working. The pump seems well built and very quiet. Granted I have it running at 12volts, I think. I hooked it up to my killawatt meter and it reads 19 watts. Full power was 37 watts. It really took some fine tuning to keep the pump from destroying my soft corals. Way too much flow at full power. At 12 volts and the perfect position it is good water movement for my 90gal. I will probably end up getting 2-3 wp25s to replace this wp40. The night sensor seems to be working so far. I am running it in else mode. My corals didn't seem to like w1.

After complaining at Fishstreet that my pump made to much noise, and me asking for a new impeller, as I am quite certain the noise is made by the unbalanced impeller (drops of glue where the axis enters the magnet), Fishsstreet told me they didn't have spare impellers.

Instead I recieved a complete pump (without driver, controller and holder ... as if you couldn't extract an impeller from that) for transport costs ... so happy me. Another pump to test.
Sad to say this one also makes much more noise then my Tunze's. Even driven at 15 volts, it makes way to much noise to be accepted by my wife in the living room.

It is only when the pump runs in night-mode that it is really quiet...but most of the time my wife isn't in the living room at that time...so...it's a no go.

Your house or your tank is just too quiet OR you both have excellent hearing:rollface:

how long has it been running? when I first got it...it was loud but then it went away after a couple of days.

This...

My wife was giving me the hairy eye ball for a week after I purchased this pump. She hated it.

Now it's super quite and she is no longer complaining about it. Which makes life good lol.

 

[offshored]

How many would I need in a 450 10ft long tank running in else mode?

Where would you plave them?

No word on a wp60?
