I'm trying to get confirmation from Jebao on the WP-10's.

+3 I put a wp40 side by side a mp60 and it was hard to tell the difference....
With the wp10 coming out, I don't honestly see the point of buying any vortech blowers
Okay just wanted to share my diy interface with the group. I used the drawings from earlier in this thread and added an 24v dpdt relay for the battery backup. I currently only have one wp40, but I made one with two leads so it will handle on variable port from the apex and two pumps. The second power is for the batter backup. I've got the battle ry, just need to find a charger and I'll be in business. I will try to upload a pic.

I have one WP40 and it's just plugged into an Apex outlet. I set the feed mode to shut off when in feed mode on the Apex. Also have it shut off for 5 min every 45 min with an OSC command. It commplements 2 Tunze 6045's. The WP40 is a good solid product.

That doesn't look like a Jabao WP40. It looks like a Vortech MP40!

Why worry assembling this when you can use the tunze conector for less money and a lot smaller than this?
That's quite impressive. I have been looking thru this thread a bit but honestly I think that I get a touch of ADD and start jumping around a bit. On fishstreet, they're showing the WP40 and a 12 mode controller but I see where people are putting dimmers on it also. Is this because they have the older style controller?
I have the same size tank as yours but only with 1 overflow. In the video, are you only using the WP40?
Also why do some people use a 24 volt power supply? (I may not have been patient enough in my reading to find this out)
Thanks in advance for any advice or help anyone can offer.

Yes, the WP-40 was the only thing running during this video.
The original WP-40 only had one speed, TURBO! The new one allows you to select 3 different speeds. People using dimmers are using them for more control of the speed, and to use with their controllers (btw if anyone has one hooked up to a RKL, please let me know!)

XSDBS;
People are using 24V power supplies, because that's the the 40 and 25 use.
Some are getting variable voltage power supplies to reduce the speed.
Running it at 100% on 12v is like running it at 50% on 24v.
You can reduce the voltage to the controller either with a dimmer or a variable voltage power supply.
shlap;
The three speeds S1, S2 & S3 only work on the W1 mode.
Also I have not seen anyone successfully controlling it with an RKL, beside just on and off.
