Following along.
Thanks for the update! I am beginning to get a little leery of the Jebao products. I just had my WP25 quit on me, and have been seeing a lot of other posts about Jebao products quitting after about a year's worth of use. I realize that the price difference is pretty significant when comparing to other brands such as Tunze and Ecotech Marine, but there is something to say about the durability and the reliability that comes with these higher end products. Hopefully some others can post with any updates, either positive or negative.

It allows your pump to run at full speed. You can regulate the flow into DT by the ball valve on the pipe running into the sump. If the ball is closed, then you hVe full flow from pump, as you open the valve the flow into sump increases and the DT flow decreases.
Edit: your pump stays operating at full speed.

I'd be terrified to run a Jebao return pump... is that justified?

I wouldn't use those either. Just that Jebeo name scares me for such an important component even though I guess you guys say they're all made in the same place. :wiggle:
i think if it would of been on the tank it would have lasted longer. the salinity mix leaves residue. said residue caked the bearings. so the over current protection built into the ecm board would shut it down after about two seconds. both my wp40 pumps are still running. one is over a year. but i dont use the factory jebao controllers.
