Now, if I were buying all new stuff, sure, I'd go with the latest. But I went with the last last season, so it would be nice to be able to get the same stuff. Oh, cost wise, I can buy the WP40 for 60 bucks without the controller I don't need. Gooder deal still.
Sounds like my phone lol

Ok so you don't want 4000gph , that's why they have a controllable speed , and I'm sure most people would prefer to have the extra power if they want it ,and turn it down if they dont , while maybe extending the life of the pump running it at a lower speed.

That's a great way of running them through the apex with the cable , but I would bet most people run them with the controller and having the option of them communicating together like a vortech mp , is a pretty cool option.


Flow width is silly? That comment has to be one of the silliest things I have ever heard. Wider flow covers more area on either side of the powerhead , and also allows for easier placement without having to worry about blowing the skin off your acro's

Well ya, that's the theory. But I haven't found it to apply to practical application. Not something I would base a decision on.

And yes, most people will want the newer units. If I had none, I'd go with the RW. But if one of my exisiting ones dies, I want to replace it with the same thing. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there in the same position. I think Jebao sold a few units

Yes , I agree as I have a pair of wp25's and if one died I would prefer to replace the one pump as well.

And that's all I'm saying really, if you have none, buy the new ones, but if you need to replace part of a set, access to the old would be great. Especially without the controller option.
