Dymax wave deflector

[dominik]

Hi, a warning to those thinking of buying the dymax wave deflector. It dun works . after installed, it will turn a few rounds then it stop .

Buy at your own risk.

[glim18]

any grains of sand or other small hard bits stuck in the gear system?

Same thing happened to the hydor type and it only worked again after I stripped it and found grains of sand stuck in the plastic gears...

[bezz]

Wah!!!

Lucky didn't buy at Aquarama. Saw the display one like moving nicely...

I agreed. Think whoever is responsible of bringing it in shd look into this prob. I've bought two and both are the same... turned a few rounds and then stopped until I've got to use my hand to get it moving again.

Hey not cheap leh, I've bought mine for $10 each.

Can post a picture of the defect one so to warn others not to purchase it?

[jervismun]

How hard is it to copy a product and make it work?

dn think the problem lies in defect one or not defect one.

think is they refering to all dymax wave deflectors.

It's the one that is use to attached to any power heads or outlet pipe. It works based on some gears mechanism in it, such that when water passes thru the plastic blades inside, it'll turn some gears which will than rotates the wave deflector. It's kind of easy working principles but guess there isn't much research done on the drawing board so end up produced such quality stuff lor...

Anyway thinking abt it, if not much thoughts are given on the drawing board, it also explained why they can sell it between $7-$10. Only thing is it juz won't work after turning a few rounds, waste our money(even if it $10)...

I think is the design problem.

I bought one, stop turning after few round. Went back and change another one but stuck again....give up. Think the pump is too strong for the wave maker.

[glim18]

I think the pump rating for the deflector is about 1200lph...same as hydor.

[adrianlau]

Mine also didn't work. Attached it to outlet of Eheim 2217 which is 1000 l/h. Is Dymax a local brand?

[chercm]

i think it is from china/ Taiwan

[atom]

Dymax is a Singapore brand n not China or Taiwan.

thanks for the review , intend to buy one actually !

[dominik]

this wave deflector is made in sinagpore

[angelfishlover]

ya singapore brand liao.That is why is so cheap.

[hobgoblin]

Perhaps it would be good if photographs of the internal components can be put up. In that way, all of us may come up with a mod to rectify it.

I don't think it's a gone case- probably can improve on the design.

Just that the gears inside got to be way smaller than that of hydor's.

[adrianlau]

Do you think we can invite Dymax manufacturer to respond to our feedback?

Hi All

Saw 2 of these deflector in Jireh's show tank and seem to work quite well. Not sure how long they have installed. Nearly brought 1 set to try.

[Nitro]

Had just wrote in to DYMAX Singapore. Let see if they'll reply and address this issue

Maybe jireh can kindly help to tell us how to fix it ? Thanks alot.

Good news, good news... I've wrote in to Adec Singapore (Sole Distributor for DYMAX) regarding this deflector's problem. They've replied back and adviced if I've attached the deflector to a 1200l/h power head and if yes and still not working, they'll do a replacement.

So reefers, don't be sad or angry and boycott them juz bcuz of a particular defective product model

I've already taken the first step to feedback to them and they've responded, so the rest of you who are affected, pls write in personally to high-light your problem too. Pls dun take this as an opportunity to spoil your deflector on purpose and demand a replacement hor! U must first try it on a 1200l/h power head as indicated by the product working spec and see if it work well for an extended period of time ok?

I know some of you might still complain and said things like... "No point replacing a defective one with another defective new one"... BUT my point here is at least the company bothers to look into the feedback regardless of how cheap or expensive is that product.
