Waveline DC 12000 or a DC style return pump
Just wondering if anyone is running a Gen 2 Waveline DC return pump and maybe specifically the 12000 ? I've had a Gen-X running for more than 10 yrs and has been bullet proof. But now the impeller needs replacing and can't find parts (they're out of business). I've epoxied the blades and they are holding for now but it's time for a new pump. I was going to go the Dart route but would like to try a DC style pump.

Ya I was thinking on going the little bit cheaper Jabao or Gen 1 Waveline but apparently they fixed some of the early issues.

You can almost buy 2 Jebaos for the price of one Waveline. If you go Jebao, I would definitely have a back up return pump. When mine failed I was lucky to have one. I then bought a replacement power supply. I also have a couple Eheims on the shelf if I have multiple failures.

My waveline lasted about 2 weeks. The controller kept shutting down or going full blast. I went with a reef octopus rodc pump. Been going for a month without a hiccup. Very happy with it.

Ive got the Waveline DC 6000 running at 60% since February this year with out any issues, nice pump not outrageously expensive and if you have an Apex there's talk of a controller coming from RLSS. Just cleaned the pump this weekend everything seems fine.

I just noticed these in the last couple of days, I'll read a little more on them.

Couldn't edit my previous comment to you, but do you know if they will have it so it can be controlled by Profilux, Apex etc ?

Thanks for the heads up Ronau. That's an interesting development, although that looks like it might be 'aftermarket'
 . Not that it is rocket science or anything.
