Jebao RW-8 Review

[Jonreefer]

ok here is another quick vid. I am dosing my daily Vit C and I am trying to show the pattern and how wide the flow can get. I feel like i should have done it in wave mode because the pulse would give a better look at the flow pattern instead of constant mode

Jebao should give you some $$$. You're making me pull the trigger on one! I like how strong it is, but yet I dont see sand being lifted. Which of the 8 power settings did you have it on?

 

[Jonreefer]

well in else mode is what i run it in and it runs a vary speed between low and full power i can only control how long the duration is between changes with the knob. its like the WP models where. the power control only works on the constant flow mode and W1 mode. I thought it controlled all the mode settings. but still it doesnt blow sand all over on full power in else mode like the wp25 did. I had to buy a variable powersupply with the wp25 and run at 20v to kill some power to be able to run else mode or it just blew sand all over on other side of tank

Ok, thanks! I'm still on the fence on getting it. So you're saying that it's not as strong as the wp25? Wider flow but a tad less oomph than the wp25?

 

[Jonreefer]

no I think it has more oomph then the 25 because its pushing just as much water in a large pattern and it seems to have a little stronger undertow to it. the WP25 was strong but a much more narrow strong. it didnt have as much affect to things on sand bed as this. the WP25 can reach further with its flow but doesnt cover as large of an area of water movement

Thanks again Jon...appreciate your help.

I have two of these and the flow is defiantly stronger than my 2 wp25s... Blows sand all over I have to tone them down.. I never had to tone the wp25s down because the flow was so narrow I would knock it off the glass from both sides... The slave matter mode I still have not figured out..

we are using these Pumps as well. the RW-8 is awesome, Its just like the WP25 just with a wider spread of flow and the settings are 10X better, Love these pumps and we replaced 1 WP25 with a RW-8. AS well we have one in a 30G rimless SPS DOM with 2 WP10's No sand blowing around or anything like that. Video to come soon.
