Never used either of them. Ecotech mp series all the way.

I'm guessing every thing on that pump is repairable/replaceable. When you socked it did you take it all apart?

Best bang for the buck is the WP series Jebao wave makers I have wp 25's. As with any pump keeping the cage, motor, impeller and rotor clean with vinegar soaks is the secret to long life I find. I also run a tunze and it works well too. :smile:

Yea I agree. I've had 5 different Ecotech MP40s and 3 had to be replaced. The options of flow they offer can't be beat but the unrelaiablity and noise is the reason I no longer own them. I now run Tunzes but when they pack it in its the Jebaos for my tank.

the old one run for 4 years, no complain about, a little noise, powerful. I always put it on max output, so I find this one not controllable is good price.

Monza, I am sure take it all apart, look like the some wrong with the power adapter or the motor, after I get the new one, I will try, and find out what is problem.

The guy, can u give me a web sit about the WP wave box, I can't find it on Bulkreef.

Thank!
