It's so funny how reefers often have opposite experiences. I had to replace the pump on my Tunze 1 year in. (works fine otherwise) My WAVs are by far my most reliable pumps, and they replaced Maxspect Gyres that never wanted to stay in operation. I definitely agree on the salinity probe though. I can use it to see swings, but it's not accurate otherwise. My DOS have been solid.
I'm starting to think that most of the equipment in this industry is junk and sometimes we just get lucky with certain pieces.
Replacing a tunze pump after a year is no big deal. It’s a $20 pump.
My dos works fine it’s just really loud.
I think Neptune’s makes a lot of bad products. You have a lot of people that like Neptune products but I think that every day people are giving less control to their apex.
You even see vendors making products that are not apex compatible.
