Thanks for clarifying. Makes good sense to me.

Now about 3 months in and things are looking better. Here's a few quick crappy pics. Will try to get better ones later...

Look promising are u doing any tests to make sure nothing leaking into to the water or once its bonded is it "sealed" per say. If this works long term something you should take to the powerhead makers to get them to put on as they are being manufactured

Will be doing long term testing. But this is something that is covalently bound to the surface (a very strong chemical bond) so it shouldn't leach off. And if it does slowly over rime the amounts would be miniscule. The coating is meant for medical devices such as dialysis equipment that is in contact with patient's blood so toxicity would be a major issue there. I'm not at all worried.

The plan is to license this to all sorts of equipment manufacturers.

Ah ok cool

OK, here's some better pictures as of today. Uncoated first and then the coated pump. I'm contemplating a kickstarter project to fund a batch of coated Jebao powerbeads so not sure what the interest in that might be? Any thoughts? Would you guys pony up in advance on Kickstarter to get these?
