Jebao = Taking over the world with Cheap! low power usage pumps & Wave makers, look

Wow very cool wish they had some bigger pumps though...

Anyone been running a submersible for a while now? How is it holding up?

Even if i ran 2 12000 pumps on each tank i would be saving energy. The head height scares me though

What head are you likely to be running? If you don't know ill tell you the flow loss..

Looks like i would only get about 2k gph at about 6' head height with the 12000

I would have to do almost 4 pumps to get the same flow i have now and it would equal about the same wattage as my big pump...

I'm thinking about buying two Jebao WP-40, but does anyone know if the magnetic back-plate is submersible?

My tank is standing tight to the wall, so I'm wondering if I can put them (magnetic back-plate with the cord) in my centered overflow?

I had 2 in my overflow box in saltwater, was just fine. Amazing pumps.

I bought a Waveline DC 10000 pump about 1 year ago. The pump itself has run very good but have had major issues with the power converter.
This was a first generation model I think. This was made worse as the dealer was not the most pleasant to deal with. Many Aussies probably know about this particular online store.

When I first installed the pump and just finished plumbing the pump in I turned on the unit and it worked for 2 seconds. Then nothing. Took it back and they swapped the converter. That worked for about 5 months. Then broke again. Swapped it as under warranty, new one lasted about same length before breaking. It was really poor quality, you could pull the converter apart without even trying. It was out of warranty so I went to Jaycar (elec shop) and bought a power converter that could handle up to 5 amps for au$120 :-(

Pump is running good now so I hope that the issues and reason it's so cheap is cause of the crappy power converter.

Pump itself is good, quiet and love the speed settings. Just something to be aware of.
