Jebao Pumps - Illegal?

[DAVE]

I am not sure what everyone is so mad about. I started this thread because I heard somethings from vendors and hobbyists both on facebook/email/forums and even a local store told me he wasn't sure. I didn't want to name people as this thread is not about going out and slamming people for something they said without proof. I simply was asking a question, just like many other threads.

Nick came through with the paperwork and I applaud him for it.

The point of this thread was the squash the rumors and put people minds at ease (if they were worried, I know most of you don't care about certifications).

Again, thank you Nick

I'm not mad, but a little upset that there wasn't a poll attached to this thread. A poll might have settled this debate. But I suppose hard evidence works too.

Nice to see it go from to group

I understand the post was pulled due to legal reasons of an ongoing investigation into the certification of hard wired pumps into tanks as they may still not be covered under the class 2 act ESA have yet to clarify.

nope, your going to go to jail if caught using it, Lucky for you I am an authorized non-compliant equipment disposal outlet, so if you PM me I'll send you my address and I will get rid of it for you.

This is what I love about the reefing community. Steve is ready and willing to help out a fellow reefer with his illegal equipment. Way to go Steve!!!!

Interesting...

I haven't figured out the multi quote feature of the forum, so I'll have to 'refer' to my last statement in post #79, for those who care to go back & read it. Ideally, no electrical cords in the water if at all possible. And I'll reiterate that a sticker on a component is no absolute guarantee an electrical component is immune to failure & exactly how it is going to fail. I'm fairly certain if you search on 'product recall', you'll find plenty of horror stories about certified electrical gizmos being poorly engineered, manufactured or assembled. If the certification is that much of a concern to anyone, it might be time to look for another hobby.
