Jebao WP40 vs RW15?

Daniel@R2R · Aug 2, 2014

Anybody have any reviews about how the Jebao RW series pumps compare to the WP series? I've got 2 WP40s on my 180, and I'm thinking about switching to the RW15. Thoughts? I'd love a comparison of the two.

Daniel, I have both and hands down the RW 15's are what you want. Awesome power with wide flow and similar programming to the MP's

Cheers, Todd

I have the rw15 and it's way better quality and flow pattern compared to my wp25.

Thanks Todd! What would you recommend for a 180? Am I right to think 2 RW15s will be the right combo?

Yes Daniel I think that would be a perfect combination for a 180g. It's a little much for my 125g currently but building my new 187g soon so should be set to crank them up a bit. I am running them sincqed on W1 and power level 5 of 8.

Cheers, Todd

Great! I'll be ordering a pair in the next few days. Thanks!!

Never had a WP to compare it to, but the RW is high quality.

Can the RW models be connected to the Apex with the same modified cable?

ps2cho · Aug 3, 2014

It uses the exact same female plug, so I don't see why not.

I think the 2 RW15's will be great in a 180, I have a 150 and 2 are a little much but I like a lot of flow

Is Fish-Street still the best place to get Jebao's? I bough three WP's last year from a group buy but not seeing any buys anymore.

Reef Breeders carries the Jebao pumps now. The price might be slightly higher, but they offer a 6 month warranty which you wouldn't get from Fish-Street I don't think.
