Riptide...seems interesting

[elfloyd]

Don't want to spend $300 to experiment... I'm out.

If it's a quality product and built in the states I might be interested. If it's built in China they can keep it.

I highly doubt it will be built in the states.

Yea i was expecting 150 range , so that is a big no go for me

It has been renamed Gyre Riptide Generator r/t trademark issues.

This is coralvue. 100% Chinese.

From Chris at coralvue:

The MP40 retails for $465.00 and the 35W RipTide Gyre at $300.00 is significantly cheaper. The Jebao pumps will be more conparable to the 25W RipTide, pricing hasn't been released yet.

Missing the discount on the mp40's now hopefully this price could last longer

Part of the argument for jaebos is that you could buy a few of them for the price of a vortech. Even though they don't seem to last as long and the customer service hasn't been great, the huge price difference creates most of the product value.

They do allow lots of water movement at a low price point

For the sake of full disclosure... One of these days I <u>might</u> change my mind.

Jebao's are like $100 and the riptide is 3x more... Dafaq is the rep talking about???

Beats me?

 

[jrwhite07]

Says the 35 watt riptide is 300, the 25 watt(no price yet) will be more comparable to jebao

Think he's just referring to how many you have to buy to get a couple years use out of it?








(sorry couldn't resist, just playing around)

Or you need three Jeboa for the same flow coverage as one Riptide... dunno.

Not a chance.

One wp60 moves something like 6000gph and costs $100.

I was referring to flow area... propeller power heads have a focused flow pattern (I have two wp40s). The gyre flow is as wide as it's squirrel cage (impeller is not the right term).
