As far as I know there are only 2 generations
As for the difference between gen 1 and 2, I am not sure what upgrades were made. But I'm sure like the Jebao DCS vs DCT, they did some fine tuning to help make the pump quieter and optimize performance. You might be able to find more info on google, but based on what I am seeing most of those perks are only relevant if you buy a wifi controller for it which I am not doing. They likely would have still fine tuned the pump itself.

So these CP40s are the newer versions if that clears anything up.
And they do NOT include the wifi add on.
If you want one with wifi Fish street seems to have them for $219 USD

ouch...

Thanks for the explanation, I just checked fish-street and seems like gen 3 is coming soon?

The only thing I see on fish street is a July 14 Update for the new ones. These are the same new ones. Just no wifi thing.

EDIT:
Just need 2 more people. Will likely have an answer about the CP25s tomorrow morning for those who have asked me about the smaller ones for their tanks.

well those don't exactly exist yet so not sure how I can compare them?

As with everything else updates are always being brought out. We can wait for an update or new version but it wont be long before its outdated. Jebao brings out new versions all the time it seems. Retailers in Canada were finally just getting the DCT pumps in when they released the DCS and I snagged one of those from overseas.

Keep in mind that Fish street is US pricing as well

If you don't want to order don't. But I feel like youre trying to put down my topic here and get people to back out or? As of July there were 2 versions I was made aware of. Like half the other companies out there they likely bring out an upgraded version every few months.

I want to clear some things up here.

This is CURRENTLY the newest version out.

I am only doing this because I want one and I don't want to pay big $$$. And because I can get a better deal by buying 6, well heck I hope to find 5 others who enjoy being just as frugal as me that want one as well.

I am requesting it be sent by China Post. So that means it ends up with Canada Post once it makes it here. I have never been charged duty or taxes when an item has arrived through Canada post. There is always a first for everything. I have always been charged stupid amounts of duty and taxes when UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc import the product so I opted not to use them.

The quoted price I gave you includes the US to CAD conversion done on my banks website (not google which shows a lesser rate) as well as the shipping fees converted. I divided the total by 6 and ended up with that number.

If you are interested or have any questions please PM me.
