I guess it depends on the size of the battery in the UPS. However, using UPS as battery backup to a DC pump is not very efficient as it has to convert DC to AC and then to DC again for the pump. Most UPS batteries probably will not last more than an hour running the WP40 at full 24V. Vortech's backup battery is 12V at 18amp and it is supposed to run their MP40 for up to 30 hours. Most UPS batteries are no where near that capacity.

If you have the whole tank on this UPS (return pump, PS, controller, PHs...etc), according to the graph, at 150W this UPS will last about 22min.

Sacohen · 06/18/2013, 06:24 PM

Well it seems to have worked. I'm pretty sure I had a power outage yesterday at around noon for about 3 min and the tank was fine when I came home.

Worse thing that happened was the power supply for my laptop died. It is not on a UPS system. That's going to have to change when I have the money.

Yep, I just cleaned a fountain pump that I've had for a couple years. To my surprise its a jebao wp-250

This is a little review of my WP40 pump after one month of use in my tank.
After placing the order on Fish Street Store, I received the pump in a week time, I was surprised by the fast delivery time.
It's been working flawlessly for more than a month.
At the beginning it was a little loud, but after one or two weeks working it becomes more silent. I can say it is completely silent now.
Im using the pump at 18V in ELSE mode and the flow is perfect for my 65 gallon tank. My BTA and my corals love the flow.
I would recommend this distributor, the link is on the original post, I have heard nothing but good things about their support on this product.

Editour2 · 06/20/2013, 01:57 PM

Installed 1 of my 2 WP40's finally in my 215 DT...totally silent and great flow on Else mode....I reiterate that the flow equates to a Tunze 6205....I have compared them side by side....although there is more control, support and service on the Tunze....(which goes without saying).

fltekdiver · 06/20/2013, 04:05 PM

Do they come with the controller like here on EBay from Fishstreet?

Yes, that's the standard controller that comes with the wp40, it adjusts the frequency and the different modes available

Ok, didn't they just change their controllers to a newer version?

We must have the same fountain. That is how I discovered they have always been in the pump business. My pump is at least 6 years old.

Yes they did just change controllers or they added more functionality to it. It still looks like that. With all the units that were purchased over the last 5 months the person you got yours from most likely has not turned their inventory and that is why you will see the older ones for a while. FS is probably the best bet to get a new one.

silverwolf72 · 06/21/2013, 03:13 PM

I just got mine today from the GB with the new controller, I just have to wait to get home

michaellee64 · 06/21/2013, 09:30 PM

For anybody still having problem with their night sensors, I have the solution. The ones they sent with the controllers didn't work in total darkness, but the replacement ones that I purchased did. Very expensive shipping so I searched for an alternative light sensor on ebay. Just got them today and they work fine in complete darkness. 30pcs for $3.27 from China. I'm not sure about linking to them, so search for this...

Nice to know.
Thanks for the info.

Rasioshack has them too.

What do you guys think of 2 wp40s in a shallow 90 48x30x14

shifty51008 · 06/23/2013, 02:20 AM

I would go with 2 wp25's instead of the wp40's

dougdstecklein · 06/23/2013, 07:53 AM

I just replaced one wp40 with two wp25s in my 90g. I have them both in else and one dialed down to about 18 volts. The flow is very strong! It took me several hours to figure out where to place them so they werent destroying my lps' and softies. I think two wp40s would be overkill unless you dialed them way down.

NastyZ · 06/23/2013, 09:35 AM

Did I mention my tank is BB i have (6) 1400 evos right now mayb I should shoot for the 25s

never heard of the 1400's but if they are 1400gph each I don't see why you would need almost 100x turnover in that tank but to each their own.

you can go with 2 wp40's if you want tons of flow and if they are more than what you want just get the dimmer and turn them down.
