HELP !! Ocean Motion wavemaker manual

bigginapk · 10/19/2007, 10:42 AM

Does anyone have or know of a link that I can find the manual for this wavemaker? I can't seem to locate any operating instructions on it. I know how it works, I just need the timing code sequences for it.
Thanks Chad

be careful most pump manuf. do not recommend using there pumps on timers.

My understanding is that the constant start/stopping of the powerheads or pumps will significantly shorten their lives compared to the same pumps that are constantly running. If you don't mind buying new powerheads a couple times/year, however, it will be no problem.

Varying flow is one of the most frustrating aspects for me in planning my tank. It's expensive to do it right

Just like everything else in this hobby...

Yea, I understand the warnings on the shortining of the power heads, this is a poor mans version of the tunze system. I put this (not ocean motion but tsunami)system with koralia 3's on my brothers tank and it works great for alternating the flow. I just am trying to find the manual on it. I appreciate the info anyways JimKelly12203 and ccoral !!
