Did I miss something? Did you get the paperwork?

From his post, it sounds like Nick got some information. I hope it is good as I have Jebao pumps myself. I'm sure he will post when he has an opportunity.

If indeed everything is good...then I think it would be interesting to look back on the posts here at the "I know" statements and the "illegal" statements and consider how quickly people can jump to conclusions and things get out of hand. When we look at even the confusion and lack of true knowledge that the inspector had on the Canadacorals warehouse build thread, we see how things get blown out of proportion when there was no reason for it. Just my 2 cents.

When i posted that last night i was just assuming that people are being over reacting weiners and that it seemed silly to assume fraud just because some unknown person said that something that looks very legit coming from a company with more then 10 years history in pumps(mostly pond early on) may be forged.

But this morning i got an email from the Jebao rep i deal with and i have some links to calm the folks down a bit.

One thing i did learn is that the adjustable power supplies (as an add on and not included with pump) are not ul or cul and even though i don't find that to be a problem and will keep running mine i will remove them from sale as i don't want to get involved in supplying people with something that may be even 1% unsafe. Especially when i am selling them as an add on at my cost as a convenience for my customers.

Here is Certification for the wp25/wp40/wp60 power supply:

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.

Good on you man!

Jebao is a major distributor of pond pumps to many big box retailers so you can be sure they got their certs straight. The saltwater line make up a very small portion of their products.

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.
