Jebao WP-40

[Moneymaks24]

What's the cheapest place to buy the reef angel wire and or does anyone have one for sale/trade. Also I need the apex cable for the pump .

 

[lnevo]

think only at reefangel.com

For apex you just take the connector off and connect the wires to the vdm(?)

 

[mark goodchild]

has anybody found a way to connect these to a profilux II controller please

i am wondering if the wp40 is too much for a 40w x 36d x 21h tank. i have a new 40 and a 25 as well. I got one of ea on a group buy because i was not sure if i would take my tank down to a 40 breeder or not . if it is too much i guess i will have to sell or try to trade for another 25

Believe me you'll only need one..

I would like to hook up my newly ordered dc6000 jebao to apex through vdm. The wp25 can be hooked up using the reefangel cable that converts vdm 0-10v signals down to 0-5v. The DC6000 seems to have the same style plug as wp-25 but can anyone confirm that it works with the reef angel cable and that the control signals are 0-5V.

hey i just got wp 40 from fish street and wow what a pump i love it and it make a huge diffrence from what i had before lol. (tiny cobalt pumps with three little Rubber foot cups).
and now im thinking to add one more 40 on the othere side or a 25 and some 10 on the back toward the back of the rocks
its a 75 gallon tank with the over flow in the middle and a two return pipes on each side

My WP40 was great on my 125 while it lasted. It has stopped working. Going to keep trying to get it going. Good thing I kept a Korella in there, because it gave out while I was away for the weekend. My WP 25 is still going strong on my frag tank.

My MP40 was great on my 125 while it lasted... My Mp25 is still going strong on my frag tank.

Are you talking about WP40 and WP25?

 

[Gwiz3005]

opps yes my Jebao WP-40.

 

[tunicata]

if you are saying a WP 40 stopped working, depending on the circumstances, maybe try rinsing it if you havent.

One of mine stopped working. Luckily I had bought 2 so I had a backup.
Then I just put it in a vinegar rinse for a few days (simply forgot/too busy to really mind it still being in there) and then put it back in the tank and it worked fine.

I hadn't really cleaned it since i PUT IT IN...SO LIKE 5 MOS?

Has anyone figured this out with the reef keeper?

+1 on the reefkeeper

I just put the wp 40 on my 75 gallon I got it in the group buy over the summer, I felt it was too strong for my 75 gallon the pump cranks tho.

Following this post as I'm waiting for a wp 25 to arrive for my 55gal in the wall tank.

Seems Neptune maybe teaming up with Jaebo to make an "Apex Pump"

Feel like this pump loses power too quickly. After a good vinegar bath it's good again but other pumps I feel doesn't have such a drastic difference so quickly. Still love the pump.

Pump, pumppp the jam pump it up!!

wp-10 powerhead only + arduino controller

Hi, I was wondering if anyone attempted to use the jebao
powerhead with arduino and a 24v power supply.

From what I understand it's necessary to convert the arduino pwm signal to analog 0-5v signal which is pretty easy to do.

If someone can answer the below questions, I'll order the powerhead (it will take a month to be delivered) and give this a try, posting my findings as I go.

What's the wiring of the powerhead? Number of wires, color and purpose of each, etc.
Can the pump achieve any speed when sending analogue 0-5v? That is, if I send 0.3v, would that give me 6% speed? Or is there some minimum speed that the pump can work at?

Thanks.

 

[lnevo]

Plenty of people. You can get a cable that will do the conversion from ReefAngel.com if you want it for 0-5v instead of 0-10v you'll need to ask for it. The pumps dont run usually below 30% whatever voltage that comes out to.

 

[aparaske]

The cable costs almost as much as the pump itself so I thought I could just splice the powerhead cable itself(hence why I need wiring information).
Also, I came across another controller, jbwave, that claims to achieve any speed at 1% increments without any mention of a minimum speed. Also, being a dc pump, I don't understand why it would have a minimum.
