jabeo pump isnt working

[CoralWealth]

I'm looking at these now:

https://coral-box.com/rn-nano-pump.html

I sent an email to them to see how getting a replacement shaft/propeller works. Their literature say's it's a titanium alloy shaft.

When I contacted fish street about my pumps not working, they suggested getting the Quiet Pump plus Coral Box. The QP-16 Plus to be exact

Oh, very similar to the Jebaos but with a more advanced controller. And the shaft looks to be ceramic on those ones.

The RW-series had bad motors. Look up OW....they have the NEW dc motor design.

any idea if you can buy just the pump as it looks like the controller is the exact same

I don't know, no. I would imagine they're sold only as the unit...you might try contacting Jebao about it!

I assume you are talking about this?

Ive seen pp series wet side only on ebay before but not currently. Also the SOW is the newest series. Same as the OW but are sign wave.

hopefully we can find some pumps only as that would save an easy $20-30 everytime you need to buy a new one. Out of my 6 jebao pumps, my controller was never the problem. It was always the motor stopping, even though I clean them a good amount

Coral Box got back to me very quickly and you can get the replacement propeller/shaft for $30 from Fish Street. Probably going to give these a try.

I've had 4 PP/RW-15s for a few years now, and I'm happy with them. If one fails, I get a new motor block for it from ReefBreeders:

It is cheaper than buying a new pump, and my Jebaos just keep on ticking...

Thanks for posting this! I didn't know where to get replacement motors for the PP series.

/I have a working controller from a pp-8, it should work with a motor for a pp-4 right? Hope so.

When you order the motor does it come with the propeller/shaft and cage? Everything but the controller and power adapter?

Nevermind...

This item is the rear motor portion only- impeller, magnet, and front housing are not included.

At least I can fix the pp-8 I have.

Likely magnets. Try using scotchbrite to clean well and clean inside hole with a brush . If no luck, plug unit in without impeller to see if you hear/feel a hum. If not, unit is shot

Thanks for posting this also. this is perfect!

I think he's referring to the impeller magnets.

thats what I thought but wasnt sure.

 

[vetteguy53081]

these are magnet driven. When you pull impeller (propeller out), there is a magnet attached

Who'd a thunk a budget manufacturer would sell replacement motor blocks. If I want a replacement motor block for my $175 WAV pump I have to spend $175. Only other company I can think of that sells replacement motor blocks is Tunze, but that have replacements for any part you can name.

Mine broke or they get louder over time even after cleaning. There customer service will not respond. I no longer buy any of there items and will spend top $ for better equipment.
