And that ladies and gentlemen is how one silences that!

Thanks Nick for putting this to rest.

Personally I see this as nothing more than a smear campaign by someone that prides them self on spending $3500 on power heads.

If you look at most non mainstream china products, like led lights (zetlights, evergrow..par38 led etc), pumps, they at the minimal use a ce certification label. A higher tier main stream product that sells at higher end stores, they put in ul for the american market. To put a csa, well, the canadian market is so small, they dont bother - saving a few hundred to few thousand dollars for the certification is the probable interest of these companies. If the do past ce and ul, it is probably good enough for the canadian market but insurance companies will weasel out of any claims due to damage/fire.

Thanks Nick. Appreciate the extra effort you went to quiet this smear campaign based on rumour and pure speculation.

MODS, could you please change the title of this thread to something like:

"Jebao Pumps - PROVEN LEGAL!"

Otherwise, for people who don't read through to the end will assume there is something to the baseless accusations.

Thanks,

Anthony

omg guys, this thread has been an emotional roller coaster ! First I'm like, WHOA, are they illegal ?! Then I'm like WHOA!! Michael assures me that they ARE illegal! Then I'm like whoa.... they totally are legal. I need to go watch some lolcats now.

CE is a self certification process though so I would not put as much stock in that as I would in UL or CSA. But I have heard some Chinese companies will send well built examples for UL certification and then skimp and swap cheaper components for the production runs. Not saying Jebao does this but I have heard of it happening.

So many haters... glad to see this one worked out for the good guys! I'm sure all them mp40s and tunze parts came out of the same factory.

Say, was that statement from that electrician or whomever get deleted? Don't see it anymore... I was just wondering if that guy that came out stating that these are Illegal was a certified person or was just someone who bought his/her diploma off Ebay...
