IslandReefer is on a distinguished road
Default SCWD

Just checked the website (www.3IQVENTURES.com).
The in/out are 1/2 inch ID, not really barbed much,in the picture.
Here is the switching frequencies:
Flow Efficiency Ratings
Below is data provided by one of our distributors as a result of flow testing. Using powerheads of various gph ratings they were able to provide flow-in ratings, flow-out, switching speeds, and efficiencies.

Flow into SCWD SCWD Output Efficiency Switching Duration
150 gph 90 gph 60% 22 seconds
180 gph 120 gph 65% 16 seconds
240 gph 180 gph 75% 12 seconds
270 gph 210 gph 80% 10 seconds
330 gph 240 gph 80% 9 seconds
400 gph 360 gph 90% 7 seconds
600 gph 540 gph 90% 5 seconds
720 gph 660 gph 90% 4 seconds

...from this 1400gph looks like apx 2sec switching speed....thats a mite quick,for me.
let us know how it works for you.Did anyone mention any noise from theSCWD?
great reefing
