Jebao WP-40 Unboxing and Review

[ReEfErAdDiCt86]

Hey guys I was so impressed with this pump today that I made a vid. Will try to update a comparison with the WP-25 soon. If you have this pump or have had it, what do you think about it? Any issues? Let us know!

Great pump for the money. I am waiting on the new controller to be able to place the pump lower in the tank and turn it down around 15%. Not pretty and not as quiet as a tunze, but moves beast amounts water.

You can do the Apex modification that Juan (JBaeza) did. The Apex will control the gph and anything else. You just need the VDM plugs which the full apex already has two of. I have two that I want to do this to.

My vdm's are full. Lights in one and two pumps on the other. Any way to add more?

You should be able to add as many of these to the apex as you want.

yea just get another VDM for $100 so that you can use your $65 pump that you only bought to save $40 lol

hehehe .. but its doable ..

NO! Buy it for the expensive gear you already have...then use the existing vdm ports for the cheap pumps. Problem solved. Lol

Can a vdm be added to an apex Jr without adding anything else ?

Thanks guys! It's what boredom and having more time on your hands than u need does... There's some things I left out of the vid tho that I wish I'd said but hey, I'm not Steven Spielberg lol

Forgot to mention, I also ordered the new controller from fish street last night. I wouldn't have even known about it if I hadn't gone through threads on SCR about the pumps, so thanks for that as well.

Those VDM modules seem great. Wondering just how much control they actually allow with powerheads...just speed/gph or can you set wave modes and stuff too? Eventually I'll get an Apex and I can start messing with all that but for now I'm stuck with the controller.

I believe it can. I mean you'd obviously need a light or pump for it to do anything but you'd only need the module to connect it to the Apex.

Lol you should make a video Chris. You've got a lot of your own knowledge and experience that I'm sure a lot of ppl would find helpful.

From what I understand they'll control everything. We need Juan up in here to confirm. If you get the full Apex it already has 2 vdm ports so you wouldn't need the extra module. You'd only need it if you had more controllable pumps/lights than ports that are on the Apex (2). Let me see if I can find Juan's thread about the mod to the pump. He had programming code in there too and that'll confirm what all you can control.

Sweet, if that's the case maybe ill pick up an Apex sooner than later. I should've had one with all the d*** $ I've spent on other junk...

One issue I had with the 40 is the power supply went out after 2 weeks of use. I picked up a universal adapter for 10 bucks on eBay and haven't had any issues as of now. I have it on a 180g and I can get a 3" wave going very easy. All in all well worth it over the higher priced tunze or vortech.
