Wave timer + Koralia Nanos?

rfd515 · 09/10/2008, 12:39 PM

Anyone have experience with using Koralia Nanos on a Natural Wave Timer ?

I know people use K3's and K4's on one by using airline tubing on the propeller shaft, but I wasn't sure if there's room for the tubing on a nano (I haven't bought a nano yet).

Obviously the nanos will "work" but will they make a bunch of noise on startup?

Thanks for any input.

Using the old models on wavemakers that turn pumps off then back on is too harsh and drastically reduces the life of them. You need to use wavemakers that slow the pumps down then speed them back up like the Seio controller. As far as I know, the newer ones can work on any wavemaker.

This would be brand new, standard knanos on a new timer.

Sorry, when I said new, I meant the magnum series korilia's which are much bigger than the nano

If you're lookign at new pumps, why not get the DC Koralias and their controller?

Might as well just buy a tunze/vortech for what that would cost
