Jebao Cross Flow Pump

[DavidinGA]

This is a jebao impeller (each end of it seats into one of the factory ceramic cylinders). I don't have a pic of mine or I'd post it with the airline tubing on it, but you should get the idea.

Gotcha

These are starting to pop up in Europe already, preorders at CP25 €110 euros and CP45 €150

These are the little ceramic rings/cylinders that WILL eventually seize to the ends of the impeller. Simply cut a piece of airline tubing to the same length as these and replace them. While you might give up a tad bit of performance with airline tubing Vs the ceramic pieces the airline pieces don not fail in my experience (2 years now).

Have you tried the more rigid polyethylene tubing like used for RO/DI? Maybe a bit better then regular vinyl airline tubing?

What causes the ceramic rings to seize? Will a vinegar bath not help?

As has been said before, keep the Jebao's clean and they are far more reliable. I use a mild muriatic acid about every 3 months to remove any calcium buildup after a good scrubbing with a tooth brush. Helps considerably. Just be aware they will perform like new, so if you've ramped them up over the preceding months, a little sand storm or two might await you.

Probably would work better, but I haven't tried it....

Anything new for the end of this week?

 

[C3hutson]

They are probably figuring out how to make sure it lasts no more than 9 months

My Gyre lasted only 3 months.

 

[chilli_reef]

They have two versions.
Jecod-cp45
Jecod-cp25
45w and 25w

When they hit the us market is anyone's guess.

And then there is this little gem.......

I get it. I would be highly po'ed my self. But I would also listen to the community and change accordingly. This isn't the first time coral vue has had to place a halt to copy cats. But it did cause them to revamp their pricing.

Notice it says nothing about us buyers, only sellers in the US. So, I would imagine sites overseas (fish street) will carry it and US customers can buy and have it shipped internationally bypassing the US protected laws.

Maxspecs does not own any patents. These shady sites are making it all up

Have you contacted CoralVue for support?

they don't have patent's yet but if companies in the US sell these units and maxspec does get the patents then the companies will be liable and will have to pay maxspec for money lost and damages.

Which is what happened with coral vue and that bag of tools from Canada years back. Mr. Tool was ordered to pay I believe for importing knock off skimmers and selling in the US. Coral vue put the smack down legally and they were locked in it for about two three years. I'm pretty sure mr. Tool lost any way ? Either way mr. Tool bag was ultimately imprisoned for illegally importing live rock from fijji to the tune of three to four CONTAINERS full. He fled and was extredited back and sent to prison.

If memory serves that case was when reef octopus was still pat. Pending as well. And the tables turned when they got a paten ?
But I could be wrong there.
Point is its never a good idea to muck with folks who have a pat pending and aren't afraid to defend it.

Which is funny because the same reef blog that posted the biased posts regarding jebao knocking off maxspect published a post about reef octopus being a complete knock off of vertex skimmers a year or 2 back.

 

[chilli_reef]

I wasn't saying reef octopus was the knock off....
I was saying the guy from Canada was importing knock offs of reef octopus. I have no idea about vertex skimmers.
The knock offs were called g something or other I think ? At least here in Ohio they were lol !

One thing can be said about that blog then I reckon.....
They aren't concerned with sides if they are posting con's and pros as they come in to light.... Even of formerly accused...
