Waveline DC 12000 or a DC style return pump

[monza]

I also had two early version Waveline 1200's that both controllers failed, they have replaced both with much more robust looking controllers but I have yet to use them. Jebaos I consider total junk, I went through two very quickly,my LFS replaced both one of those one was broken out of the box the other failed soon. I don't want replacements for them I'll be tossing them out. All the above pumps where replaced with Reef Diablos, which have been running non stop for 7-8 months, down side of them is I hear they are not making them anymore?
I have at least one traditional pump, Red Dragon running crucial flow to my tank(closed loop), I have a Diablo running sump return. I don't trust DC pumps. I'll still be experimenting with them however.

DC pumps are already being controlled by Apexs

Not Wavelines yet, which I'm sure FragitDan was implying.

Are Jebaos not clones of Wavelines with the same signal going through the controllers?

From some of my limited reading is it sounds like Waveline sold the design/patent for the Gen 1 to Jabao when they were ready to come out with Waveline Gen 2. I have not come across that a Gen 3 was in the works though.

Torx says they are.

Thanks for the heads up Ronau. That's an interesting development, although that looks like it might be 'aftermarket' . Not that it is rocket science or anything.

Yes but not Apex 'supported'… not that it matters I guess.

This is the response I received last week from RLSS (yes I know they have been promising this for over a year now)


"Thanks for your interests in our products.

We hope to give Neptune the 3rd prototype for the "Apex-ready" controller next month so that they can verify the one a.s.a.p..

The controller was behind our schedule we will need to support 0-10V analog controller and RS232 as well. And the main broad is upgrading too.

Should you have any question, please let us know, thanks.

Best regards"

I bought a Speedwave DC pump when they were the only way to go, I don't think anyone sells them locally anymore. Fingers crossed it's working perfectly so far, had it for about a year and a half. Anyone else running one?
