Speed wave DC pump quit working

[Proteus]

I picked up a Laguna. See how it does. Though I did like the feed mode on Dc pump

These pumps simply are not reliable. It's too bad because they put out some nice flow for 80ish watts. I still am not sure what to replace mine with.

I have been running 4 of these water blisters for over a year now, haven't had a issue with any, come to think of it it's been a year I should clean them

Agreed I hate them with a passion but once you go DC I find it's hard to go back. I picked up the new 12000 in hopes the improvements continue past the power supply and controller.

Since similar are the Wavelines as unreliable?

From my understanding the waveline, speedwave and diablo are all from the same manufacture

My waveline has been solid. Year and a half, no problems.

My Waveline has also been problem free for over a year.

Same pump, a few people seem to goop luck so far but everyone I've had, waveline or speedwave, has had an issue whether with the power supply, controller or pump itself. I've also seen the amount of returned product at some retailers that sell them and its substantial enough to suggest I'm far from alone. To add to it it appears Waveline doesn't seem to deal with some dealers anymore making it pretty painful for warranty.
