anyone tried to using Jebo WP40?

I tried to order one from reefers direct. Figured I'd give them a chance. my order has been cancelled (by them), and I haven't seen a refund yet. I haven't had a chance to call them yet to figure out what is going on, I will update once I do. Just a quick FYI ... I'm not saying I will definitely have a problem with them, just noting it as a caution.
 
ok, thank you for the info all, I will go for the WP25's it looks like. If I get my 210 that I want I can always put the 25's on the back wall and put a WP40 on the end of the tank.
 
I am still debating if i put another WP-40 in my 125 6 feet becuase i like my tank to have same equipment in both sides. I moved it from the center side and put it in the back corner toward the other side and it's working better.

I think the flow is great in the other end but still have a little sand blowing. Actually i also have a 3/4" Sea Swirl in the middle.

What you guys suggest ??? Do you think if i put another one in the other side will they both compete when they reach the middle and avoid the sand blowing ????

Maybe posting a video you can have better reference but in the meantime.

Thanks in advance...

They may cancel each other out and avoid sand blowing, but they may also act like a hurricane and and increase the sand storm.

I don't intend this to be mean or rude, but that is the issue isn't it. It's a risk we all take when we buy from companies that don't want to do customer service. You bought it, your stuck with it. It's the gamble we all have taken... you just came out on the short end of the stick.

Here are 3 possibilities:
1) Buy another pump... maybe from FishStreet this time and pay the full ride. And then keep the broken one for spare parts.
2) Get somebody who did buy a pump from FishStreet.com to order the controller for you and consider yourself lucky a distributor does better customer service than the manufacturer. Oh, and you've still saved money compared to buying a Tunze or Eco Tech.
3) Pay Jebao what they want.

Your not being rude......I understood the risk.....I already have 2 Tunze 6105's....but wanted supplemental flow so for $140 I purchased 2 of these. I also purchased another 10 for members of my reef club who have not reported any problems with theirs. I guess I did get the short end of the stick but at least the pump is operational in all other capacities. 1) I don't want to purchase another pump, 2) is a viable option if someone volunteers their invoice # and receipt which is unlikely and 3) is an option.....they want $6 each new controller which I'd be willing to pay....it's just the $35 shipping that annoys me.

Pm me your email address. I may be able to help you.
 
Has anyone come across any issues dialing back the WP40 using the e-bay knob device? Mainly looking for some early adopters thave have been using for 3 months or so. I have been running mine at full strength for about 2 months now and think I should dial back a tad.
 
I had no issues, but I have not been using the LED dimmer this whole time.
I used it for about a month - 1 1/2 months at about 50% on Else mode and it was fine.

I think Ron Reefman has been using it dialed back all this time with out a problem.
 
Heads up. Reefers direct cancelled my order because of lawsuit threats. They were not "comfortable" telling me from whom the threats came, but I can think of two likely culprits, and i'm sure you all can figure them out on your own. I don't know if "everyone" will buckle under lawsuit threats, but if you are on the fence about ordering, i might advise you do so sooner rather than later.
i don't know if any of this has been covered in the 150 or so pages, but figured if it was, seeing it more than once would be better than not seeing it at all.
 
i had it for 3 months.

when i tap the power supply with my foot it would work again. most recently it did not turn on again. it would tease me by turning on for a brief second immediately after the tap.

The first thing I'd do is replace the cord.
If it is the supply, it sounds like a broken connection.

My power supply is no longer working for the WP40. It was the one that came from the original WP40 box.

Definitely replace the power cord from the wall to the transformer.
This is a standard computer power supply cord.
If the problem is with the cord or the transformer the light on the transformer would be out or flickering when you tap it with your foot.

If the light is solid then the transformer is getting constant power and either the output of the transformer is bad or the controller is bad.

To check the output of the transformer use a voltmeter or multimeter and see if it is putting out a consistent 24V.

Who did you get the pump from?
 
As indicated, here is a crappy video of the tank with the WP-40 in the back right corner.

Can you guys please revise it and let me know your advice if i should get another WP-40 for the left side to avoid sand blow as you can see at he center of the tank in the final moments of the video.....

Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise....

Thanks for the input becuase still deciding if i am going to buy another one for the other side...
