Controlling Jebao Crossflow pumps
I have a cp40 and want to get another. I'd like to run a similar pattern that I had with rw8's and the jbwave controller. I read a post that said that the JBwave is not compatible with the Crossflow pumps. It looks like the only available option now is to purchase 2 of their Aqualink controllers.
This is the program I'd like to run: Pump 1 on / Pump 2 off Pump 2 on / Pump 1 off Pump 1 and Pump 2 on Pump 1 and Pump 2 off thanks, Albert |

Is the JBWave compatible these days?

Bent: I do not think the JBwave is compatible with the crossflows. I wish they were because I have one. Eric from Fishstreet replied to my inquiry and says that "I need to set the timer on it". I don't know what that means. Albert |

So in detail the custom program I created was: Pump 1 on (100%) / Pump 2 off = 30 seconds Pump 2 on (100%) / Pump 1 off = 30 seconds Pump 1 and 2 on (80%) = 30 seconds Pump 1 and 2 off = 5 seconds |

Well, it's been a while since I last posted to this thread. Still trying to figure out if the Aqualinks will run the above program.
Update on the Crossflow cp-40. Some months back I cleaned it but could never put it back together without constant stalling. I put one of the old rw8's to replace it as well as a new cp-25 on the other side of the tank. I'm thinking of getting another cp-25 to replace the rw8's. Reason is that the more direct flow of the rw-8 is in the path of a few corals. Alot of the corals have grown fairly high in the tank and really the only type of powerhead that would work would be a Crossflow type of pump. Anyone running the Aqualinks with the Crossflows? thanks, Albert |

Another update on these pumps. I've read over and over regarding giving reviews on a piece of equipment too early. I agree. At the end of the day, I would not recommend these pumps. Mainly do to the pita factor in cleaning them. Also, once putting them together, the pumps may or may not work the same as before. Or there may be a new noise that shows up. I don't know if the other type of Gyre pumps have the same problem but I'm sticking to old style pumps. I am now back to 2 rw-8's.
