My 5 Cents worth over wp25

My 2nd hand Vortech went dead today.

I went to C328 to buy a Jebao wp25.

Following is my short and exact views over my new replacement:

1. Super Cost Savings

2. Drastic drop in Noise compared to my previous Vortech. My wife sounded out about the quietness after I load the Jebao inside and let it run for a while.

That's all .. Hope my 5 cents worth prove useful to some who wishes to buy a wavemaker.

Thanks

Just to note on the jebao wp25. I bought one from C328 too. Less than an hour after using, I got the "3 lights blinking problem". If anyone of you happens to encounter this, the problem is with the adapter plug and not the controller. I had to go down to C328 twice, once to change the controller(still same problem) and then to change the adapter. Have to say the auntie was very accommodating. After changing the adapter, the problem is gone, HTH.

I posted in another posting.

Do you know if we can plug the WP40 Propeller into the Wp25 COntroller for use ?

Bro, I think the controller is the same..but the adaptor is different..wp40 being stronger required higher wattage..I dun dare to try though..scare make spoilt thing..haha

Problem is that it works for about like 1 hour and then the problem arise. Given that C328 is so crowded and the auntie is so busy, i also feel paiseh to bring down and test.

I had 3 burnt adapter on day 1 and had to bring to LFS to change it. Work fine for few months then controller spoilt. LL had to buy a new set as it is the cheapest variable speed WM. I hope the dealer here can bring in extra controller for sale or the latest twin controller. Sign....

Most adapters from computer peripherals can be used as a backup if the original one conk up ( routers, modems etc) but they are usually 12v, so you get only half the power. Difficult to find a dc 24v adapter from the neighbourhood shops unless sim lim towers.

OK ... Latest Update:

After Trial & error ....Swop back -

The WP40 Adaptor works with WP40 or WP25 COntroller and now the Wave Maker is back to normal.

So KenYee is right ... the WP25 Adaptor cannot work with my WP40 Propellor Unit But the COntroller is Universal.

The Failed WP25 Adaptor was not spoil .. it just failed to 'boost' the WP40 Propeller Unit after a while.

So now I have a Spare Set of Working Wp25 Unit.

Another thing to take note.... Freak me out just now when I managed to get my hands on the WP40 Adaptor - The Idiotic Design requires a Special Power Plug Adaptor - 3 Pin in Triangle Fashion !!! Luckily I rush to my neighbour's house to 'Rob' his Power Plug Adaptor.

Silly to the Designer for designing the Same Brand of Product but different design for 3 Pin PLug between WP25 and WP40.

WP25 = Standard 3 Pin

WP40 = Weird Triangle 3 Pin.

OK.... Sorry for all the confusing Mix & Match risk that I took.

For the plug design, I think it vary by batch..I have see different plug for the same wavemaker..my previous Wp25 plug is 2 pin (flat type)..now wp40 plug is the 3 pin (weird triangle pin)..haha
