Resun Waver-15000

[crazedreefer]

It is to bad that no one has come out with a very similar design as a tunze with the reliability of a tunze, for a much cheaper price...I know it can be done, just need some one to do it...The company who would do it would make a killing...

All in all I think the modified maxi jets are about the best bang for the buck these days.
I've got one zip tied to the output of a sea swirl and it's probably the best water movement setup I've ever used.

I did that with my Tunze's

HIHI
I bought my resun waver about a month and a half ago with no problems but I found that the 10 second high setting was'nt enough so I bought this power supply (and the transformer that it needs) http://www.hobbytron.com/Power-Supply2.html and its been running all out for about 2 weeks with no problems (running at 24vDC/1.5amps). Its got 2 pots one to adjust amps (0-1.5 amps) and another to controll voltage (0-30volts). If anybody else trys this out keep in mind that the heat sink needs to be kept cool to operate at high current for long periods of time.

-This thing puts out tons of flow-

Would this be overkill on a 75?

 

[Davenandez]

depends on what you wanna keep
it should be great for a 75

 

[jdoenumber2]

Anything and everything. What would it not be good with?

 

[Davenandez]

fungiids might get annoyed if it blows sand onto them lol
but yeah other than that it should be fine for just about everything

 

[jdoenumber2]

Cool thanks. What is the overall take on this product?

 

[eastcoaster1]

I think they are okay for a tanks 50 gallon or smaller, other than that the wave settings are just too short to create much motion in a larger tank. They would be better if the controller had a setting that allowed you to run it wide open for a minute or two, and then cycle it down to 20% for a minute, etc.

Mine lasted about 9 months and then died, so I'd be curious to hear how long they lated for other people.

 

[Davenandez]

Mine's on a 180 oceanic (granted its running at 100% all the time) its got some serious flow to it

Is the SunSun powerhead the same as the Resun Wavemaker without the controller?

I was thinking of trying the Resun, but think I will wait until they come out with one with a magnetic base.

The SunSun powerheads are pretty cheap on Ebay.

Thanks
Jack

 

[whitleyjb]

Also, any new links to purchase the ReSun?

Any US based sites?

Thanks

Looks like the newer version of the Resun with the magnetic holder is now on Ebay

 

[nog_man2]

Not only it has a magnet holder, but also a "new and improved" time controller, suposed to be more stable. They call it version 4.

Anyone has any ideia on this so called improvement?

 

[superedge88]

Anyone still running these since 2007?

 

[meijino]

I still got mine running no problem what so ever

 

[jackryan]

mine has been running for more than 2 years now... 2 of them in standard / stock mode while a 3rd one has by diy'ed by a couple of friends in a local forum here into the equivalent of a Tunze Wavebox...

What about spare parts like the impeller, are they available ??

 

[lenzh]

I know this thread is really old, but I had one of these and was really unhappy with the shortness of the stream timing, especially on the high end, so I hacked the control box.

It's actually really simple. By changing certain capacitors in the box you can change the timing. I have the "small" setting running for less than 1 second, the "middle" setting for between 10 to 50 seconds and the "big" setting runs now for between 30 seconds and 2.5 minutes. If there's interest I will post pics and instructions.

definatly interested post pics
