The power grid at my house is so full of harmonics, Incandescants only last 2 months Tops. Might be an issue there too??
Just sayin it seem's awefully strange that 2 wave boxes died the exact same way for you. And you havn't modded them, or exceeded their programming/design characteristics. So maybe something else is the common denominator???

I don't know about the incandescent bulbs, we've only been in our place for 5 months or so so I have no idea how old the bulbs are to begin with. The waveboxes haven't been modified in any way.
Anyway, waveboxes have the pump on a very long powercord, at the end of this cord is a little box that has two connections to it, one going to the controller and the other going to power via a transformer (large black box). This little box also has an adjuster on it to work the "volume" of flow coming out of the pump.
I have the wavebox connected to my aquatronica powerbar and I turn it on and off via my controller. I'm starting to wonder if that isn't the common denominator. We haven't had any power outages, I've checked the plug on the powerbar as well as checking the wavebox on a completely different outlet. I think I'll have a go at the tunze forum, maybe they have some ideas on whats what.
