Recently I picked up a pair of Jebao RW15 pumps that I was going to use on a new build. Well that build never took place so I sold both of the power heads. I ran both pumps in vinegar and water to clean them and get them ready, I didn't realize that the magnets were switched on the pumps. Actually I thought that either magnet would work with the pumps. Well I was wrong! A local guy bought one of the pumps and I sold the second to a friend in Texas. When they both tried to setup the pumps they quickly realized that there was an issue with the magnets. I simply thought this was impossible!

Long story short I had @915MANG send me his magnet and I was going to swap it out locally. I got lucky that I sold one of the pumps local! Well the magnet that 915Mang sent me got lost in the mail!!! After searching all over the internet I contacted Fish Street and they were able to get me the base and magnet! Be aware if you have 2 pumps with magnets to check the magnets before you pass them on to the next person!
