Agreed, I have both speedwave and waveline in my possession, I believe there is zero chance these pumps are not made in the same factory. The only difference is the power supply for the speedwave is slightly larger in size and doesn't seem to heat up as much as the wavelines. For this reason I'd suggest the speedwaves over the wavelines.

Yes, same manufacturing plant, different companies contracting them to make very similar pumps. New pumps (4000, 6000, 12000 and 20000) are being made at a different manufacturing plant due to the issues at the original plant. There are some changes that Speedwave made as well, that may have affected some of the quality. I have spoken with the guys at H2O extensively about this, voicing concerns over the next gen pumps. I am pretty comfortable with purchasing the upcoming pumps and should have my hands on one of the first 12000's off the line. I will be doing an unofficial review on CanReef of mine when I get it... ('Unofficial' because H2O has not asked me to review it).

I am surprised that you have talked to the guys at H2o as I have heard there customer service is severally lacking.

I am looking forward to the larger pumps as I'm not 100% sure how the 10000 will preform on my 300 gal.

dc 12000 not for a long while yet as they have not even approved a sample that has been sent yet. dc6000 are in canada and will be available within a couple weeks and 4000 shortly after the 6000s (from what i have been told).
