Hands on with Jebao’s new RW series propeller pump and dosing system

We stopped by the Jebao Booth at Interzoo 2014 to check out the new RW Series of propeller pumps and their new dosing system(DP-4). The dosing system is pretty straight forward, and resembles other dosing pumps in functionality. It has a control panel on top to program each channel(reminiscent of GHL’s old dosing pump), and has a port on the back to attach a slave unit.

The RW Series of propeller pumps succeed the very popular WP line. The RW pump has a different look to widen the flow and also make them quieter than the already silent WP’s. The controller has some significant changes. Multiple pumps can now be controlled together in a master/slave format from a single controller. The controller will communicate with the designated slave pumps wirelessly, and can handle up to 8 slave pumps. Each slave pump’s output can be adjusted individually, while the master pump controls the wave function. There is also a ‘Feed’ button and a light sensor to reduce flow at night. The new RW series has 8 different selectable flow rates down to 10%, while the older WP only had 3 choices(100%/75%/50%).
