That doesn't make any sense. There is still a power supply to the controller and a cable to the pump. Wireless remote control maybe??

That's what i was saying. Just like a WP but the remote control is wireless

[dukduk]

maybe an add on remote

I think it is wireless connectivity between multiple pumps.

[Reef_Breeders]

The pumps will connect with each other wirelessly and sync. We will be the first US retailer to carry the new pumps.

Correct. If you read the thread I linked to, there's a video explaining this.
You can set one controller to master and then use the rest of the controllers as slaves. This is done wireless.

If I understood the video correct, you could still set the power of the streamers indivually, even if they are used as slaves.

Here's the spec's guys:

I believe pumps communicate with each other

I don't see the point? I don't know why Ecotech does this either?

If your going to have 2 pumps with 2 controllers and 2 power supplies, who cares if it has another wire or not to communicate. Most of the time the controllers are placed right next to one another anyway.

Seems like one controller with one power supply that can control and power multiple pumps would be a much better solutions.

Also, anyone notice how closely it resembles the Ecotech wet side?

The should have named it the Vornze.

I'm very interested in the flow patterns of these new pumps. I can't find any clips of them in action yet!

Yeah, this is primarily what I'm interested in as well. Also, if they can be controlled by the Apex still. I don't think I'll use their wave control device, which looks really awesome by the way, I just don't want more devices to fiddle with in my cabinet.

im getting confirmations via email but according to spec's if you buy the twins package you are able to operate with one power supply and if im not mistaken you would be able to add future pumps, i believe up to 8 (should you choose to). Not confirmed though

Yep they are a complete knock off of the vortech pumps now, they have a opening in the front and slits all around the shroud.

Except the Jebao can also be tilt adjusted. Perhaps when Vortech adds this feature you'll be returning to the forums to tell us how the Vortech is now a Jebao knockoff?

Turn on your sarcasm detector bud.

[EPRuss]

Personally, I think the Jebao's are a great option, and it seems like this product may just combine the best of both worlds.

I just thought it was kind of funny that at they went from looking very similar to the Tunze to looking very similar to the Vortec.

I'm not a hater on either side.

There's all ready a thread started you guys are quite late to the party lol

[Mrramsey]

I like jebao... Have 2 wp25s. I think the R&D dollars would have been better spent on a controller that can power up to 8 units of various sizes. I think the specs said you can sync 8 units but do you really want 8 controllers taking up space. Even if the extra pumps had a remote receiver that wasn't a full blown control itself would have been better.

I like things to be more modular. Buy the main controller and purchase the pumps independently as needed.

[that Fish Guy]

Wow.

First they Copy the Tunze design.

Now they copied the Votech design.

Don't these hacks have any creativity whatsoever?
