Nice.

Did we ever figure out if there are superior to the jbwave?

Also why did you get two? Won't one operate two pumps?

Dunno about the JBwave....but these seem to have what I need, and for a ton cheaper than the Maxspect. I was able to buy a couple CP40s on the cheap (brand new) for like $75/ea. The controllers cost me $95/ea shipped

These are basically just wireless converters to replace the controller that comes with the unit. So you need one for each pump. I was confused about this as well, so dont feel bad .

The APP is what supports up to 3 pumps, not the controller it self. So what they mean is the mobile app can connect up to 3 wireless controllers. This explains why when you buy the wireless CP40, it comes with a controller. Damn confusing, but thats how it works....you would think they would just have a controller that 3 pumps plugged into, rather than 3 individual units. It also makes me wonder why the hell they cant then control more than 3 pumps if it is simply the APP, not a hardware connection limit.

They both have their high points but at the end of the day I prefer the JBwave. The Aqualink stuff has more options no doubt about that but the customer support I felt was better with the jbwave. And getting my aqualinks connected and talking was a bit sketchy if you ask me. Another issue is the JBwave only has 2 inputs for pumps, the Aqualink can run 3 pumps of course with the purchase of 3 controllers. At first that seems like a Aqualink win but if you have more then one tank like myself, once you hit that 3 pump limit, there will be no more pumps. But you can just buy another jbwave if you want to add more pumps. I essentially sold them both and have my archon controlling my pumps now.

That makes me prefer the JB wave then.

JBWave Jebao Wavemaker/Controller RW4 RW8 RW15 RW20 WP10 WP25 WP40 WP60 (Android) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R6OQ7AA..._qiAsxb9H9YT7B

The JB can control two pumps with a single unit.

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

I don't see why it wouldn't. The RW and CP controllers are identical aren't they?
