How to program Jebao SLW-10 Wave Pump

[rq4ugh]

Hello everyone,

I have a Jebao SLW-10 Wave wavemaker in my Innovative Marine 25 Lagoon Tank. The pump at one point was in a pulse mode where the fan starts and stops. I don't remember which setting I was on but I seemed to like it. Now it doesn't do that anymore and I was wondering if anyone with experience could assist me with what to do. What setting will let this wavemaker start and stop at different intervals?
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Also, what would be the best setting for this wavemaker. I have a toadstool coral, some Zoas and a GSP.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your insight. I got into the hobby not long ago.

You're welcome. But if your pump is not working correctly, you should try to contact the seller and see if you can get a replacement controller.

It should. Does the flow vary at all in W1? Or in W2?

So there is a pulse motion in W1 but the pump doesn't start and stop.

I will look into that

That's what W2 is like. "Else", the third option, is random flow.

Honestly, I liked W2 better than W1... Seems like less work on the pump.

Okay I will set it to that and see. Also, just to make sure I am not paranoid lol the pump has a stop and start pulse mode correct? I swear I have seen mine do that before.

YES! It's W1. The graphic is showing the pump pulsing (the bars) and stopping (the space between the bars). The W2 graphic shows the intensity rising and falling without stopping.

Alright thank you. I guess I will probably have to look into getting a replacement for the controller if that is the case

Set it to W1, set the speed you want, then adjust the power with the dial.

I checked and I use W2.

Set the mode to "C" and turn the adjustment knob all the way down.

Mine gets Wonky after a Power Failure, where we have a voltage drop first. Sometimes I have to unplug the pump for five minutes, then Scroll through all the settings to get it working again. Also check the Screw Down Connection to see if it is tight. I had to screw mine down several times to get it fully seated .
