Jebao pump failure--how many so far

[watchguy123]

I have two wp 40 on my display from the initial release and going strong. Got a wp 25 from Socalireefs first group buy of them and it died. Tried new controller and power supply. Just a dead pump. Anyone else had failure.

The 25 first started out incredible, started losing umph, and then total failure.

That's the first one I've heard of dying. Every other one was a bad power supply

Mines is getting weaker as well. Hasn't died yet, hopefully a vinegar bath will bring it back to life

Wait till u clean it, u will be very surprised how much the gunk build up is restricting flow. If it were me, I would cut out some of the back of the pump. This will help from it being restricted.

So into the vinegar it will go, but I am not optimistic. It started out overpowering and the quickly faded in output pretty quickly, till it died altogether

Did you take it apart yet to inspect it?

Well my controller took a piss on me last night. No longer controllable, it just pushes high amounts of water. Switched it out for my hydor since it's a small tank

my wp25 was losing strength. Took it apart and cleaned and just like new.

Ive had the wp40 for around 8 months now, and so far it runs the same way as when i installed it. I do take it out and clean it at least once a month or so
