I upgraded to maxspect gyre pumps, so don't need this anymore. Highly recommend if you actually want to control two jebao pumps better than their makeshift controllers. It's wifi version for iOS. $50 shipped.

I only ask this because of your terms "actually" & "makeshift", but what would this allow that the controllers that come with the PP series don't? Not trying to be a jebao fanboy or anything, but have never had issues with the included controllers and they seem to have a variety of control options. I do know many people have had them stop working though. Either way, a little more info on your JB Wave Controller if you could please. Thanks!

The JB Wave is awesome. The stock controllers don't have good timing. This controller allows you to adjust by 1% at a time to perfectly dial in flow. And the timing is perfect. Want them to alternate? They do so flawlessly, unlike the stock controllers that lose timing. Plus, the ease of adjusting with your phone or other device. I bought one a month ago. Would never run them without this controller again.

What he said above. The jebao controllers do a poor job of syncing with another pump to run as a wave-maker. They work great by themselves. The JBWave literally turns off one pump and starts the other like you'd expect a controller to do and allow you to pick exactly how long the pumps stay on, ramp up/down time. I like running 10 seconds alternating on opposite ends of the tank. Jebao controllers in wireless sync never could do that for more than an hour or so

Thanks for the explanations. I will attest to them losing sync with each other once in a while. good luck with the sale!

It does a ton more than synching too... tons of wave patterns and custom pattern if you want.. feed mode, night mode, basically anything you could ever want a powehead to do

It is the iOS version, which allows running Bluetooth from phone. The mini USB plug allows you to plug into a computer too if you needed to

I’ve been trying to find one of these and all I come accross is the aqualink. Does this one controller do two pumps? The aqualink only does 1 per unit I think which is crazy

Yes JBwave does 2 pumps on the one controller. I have both the aqualink and the JBwave. Sad news though the JBwave has been discontinued. Only way to get it now is the secondary market.
