Bpb Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Wp 80 also in the works. I am working with the company still to set up multi pays also, to get a good price on shipping it will have to go to 1 place. I'd be fine with that. I'm not from Austin but I'm not in any huge hurry to pick it up. 55 gallon tank currently has about 3000 gph of koralias running. Just want to upgrade. If we end up going through with it how long would you hold for? I come to Austin maybe once a month or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haze152 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Before I move please send me a pm with how many and what model you want so I can get new quote we should be a next level discount for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEBO/Oddysea were the same company... they changed their name after their products did stuff like this. There have already been tests conducted to see if these leak stray electricity, and they do not. They're very well made; comparable to Tunze.

Don't get me wrong here but...how can you compare their build quality to a tried-and-true manufacture such as Tunze when they haven't been out long enough to test in large numbers "in the wild" to see how they hold up over time? I am just curious as to what you are basing your statement on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more comparing the structure and design of the actual pump itself, to that of Tunze. I suppose saying they're "well made," isn't the correct thing to say, until they've been tested further.

I am just curious as to what you are basing your statement on. everyone with similar comments seem to be basing it on feel, sturdiness. i looked at reviews from their other - nonpowerhead - pumps and whatnot. all of them seemed mostly positive. that is what i based my decision on. but, it is definately a risk. time will surely tell. it sounds like we will have a pretty good sample here to test them.

BBMarlin Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Will be interesting to see what everyone thinks of these pumps once you all get your hands on one. I for one don't think it's worth the risk. -brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Capt. Obvious Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I think there is a slight apples to oranges comparison on build quality...for example: Tunze photocell: (nice connector, long cable, photocell encased in resin) Jabao photocell: (just a $.99 component with zero protection) while I realize FUNDAMENTALLY these are the same thing (both are a cheap ceramic photo-electric resistor) and perform the same action...the build quality of one is MUCH higher. In fact...one actually has a build..the other is just a component...there is no build at all. I am not trying to be combative, I just really do not see the comparison.

Don't get me wrong, I think this may be a decient budget alternative for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I may be off here but it seems like the biggest concern here is starting a fire or electrocuting something through faulty pump building. I think for the price, if they function as they should its an insanely good deal. I'll be the first to admit that the vortech controllers are far nicer than these. But if I can down $40 and eliminate two powerheads and have waves, I'm in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more concerned with quality, reliability and service after the sale as well as functionality. Again, no one is arguing they do what they claim and, this far, they do very well for the price. I am just reluctant to say they are equal to mp40's or Tunze until there is more tried and true evidence. Guess I am not the "early adopter" on this as I am on other things.

But if I can down $40 and eliminate two powerheads and have waves, I'm in Cpt. Obvious bit: (not sure why the quote thing didn't work) I disagree, I think that is a worst case scenario.

I am just reluctant to say they are equal to mp40's or Tunze until there is more tried and true evidence. Guess I am not the "early adopter" on this as I am on other things. My Bit: Well, i do think a house fire is probably the worst case scenerio. But I agree with you capt. reliablity, and i can't think of the word, but basically the number of lemons per sale, are still going to be a concern. I am not expecting a lot from customer service. I figure if it breaks it will be a paperweight. I am not normally an early adopter either, but, I snuck this through the finance commitee with "well, they are so much cheaper than the MP10s that I can order two. if one messes up we will have a spare to use while waiting for a better pump".

Bpb Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'm a big "worst case scenario" thinker. It's got it's benefits and set backs. If it just flat out sucks, I'll eat the cost and likely find myself too busy to be inclined to hunt down a replacement, so service after the sale just isn't really on my mind much. Sounds stupid to say but that's just how I tend to operate. That being said. I still live in fear of a catastrophe. Lol. I've had tanks in my house for the past 7 years and still to this day when I hear a noise in the other room while laying in bed the FIRST thought that pops up is "did my tank just break?!?" And when I come home from work I'm always cringing just a little, worrying I'll come home to a flood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esacjack Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 honestly I'd be willing to waste 50 bucks to test them out for a while in my LR tank. If they croak, they croak, I have a ground probe and super sayan powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
