SLIM PRO 8000

The Wavemaker was delivered promptly. Neatly packaged inside the box were the wavemaker, mounting magnet, control unit, power adapter and assorted accessories to adjust the flow pattern. Also included were the installation instructions in Chinese and English. Installation is intuitive with minimal dependence on the documentation. The unit was up and running within minutes of unpacking. The critical step is installing the control app on your phone. Both iPhone IOS and Android versions are available. The instructions were clear but the English would benefit from better translation. I installed my pump in a freshwater, 4 foot, 90 gallon tank. This particular tank receives virtually no bottom current. I was hoping to agitate the debris and direct the waste to the filter intake. My hope was to diminish the need for frequent vacuuming during water changes. The pump worked great and moved waste material into the water column where the filter could capture it. As claimed by the manufacturer, it is very quiet. Depending on application, a 4 foot tank would seem to be the largest application for this motor, especially if it is mounted at either end. A center mount would seem to be more appropriate to maximize its potential. The pump is great, but as impressive is the Bluetooth control application. The interface is intuitive and loaded with features. It should easily satisfy any salt water/reefer requirements in terms of scheduling and wave patterns. In my particular application it was good to be able to pulse the flow on a scheduled basis as opposed to have it running constantly. Thumbs up!

This is the first time I've seen a powerhead that has this type of design. It has a magnet on the back and the inside of the glass. I was skeptical if it would hold however my urchin has crawled all over it same with some large turbos and that thing hasn't moved. I love that it has this feature because I hate trying to pull off powerheads out of cradles or try to reconnect the magnets. This one you simply pull forward and place it right back on. Very easy for cleaning and maintaining the powerhead. How does it perform? GREAT! For such a small device it really moves a lot of water. It has a very easy to use app as well as the controller. I have it set on the pulse setting and it makes nice waves across the water. It also comes with 3 different flow directors too which is nice if you desire to change the broadcast of water flow. Overall I'm very satisfied with the small design, the powerful water movement and ease of set up, use and maintenance ability.

I purchased two. The only positive about this powerhead is that it looks nice and streamline. The device turns off randomly and you have to restart it in the app, sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. The manual controller doesn't even function at all. Hitting the mode and speed buttons does NOTHING. There is no manual in English, which is super important if you want to actually use the device. In the app, they have very simple words mispelled - shows the level of care with this app. I will be returning both, and instead of trying to save a few hundred dollars, I will buy from a company that I can communicate with.

Arrived quickly. It a wonderful addition to my tank and fish love the movement of the water!! Works as described and the different modes are great.

I've bought several wavemakers before, they were either too powerful or too weak. This is adjustable so I don't have to worry about that, it has enough power to get a nice flow to the end of my tank, and can be easily adjusted with the controls or the app. The wave maker is absolutely silent. This is a high quality product and is a definite step up from the inexpensive, non-adjustable wave makers I've tried before. Also, the magnetic attachment system makes set up, installation and placement easy. It has not moved since I installed it. It feels very sturdy and durable, I'm not worried about this falling apart.

I actually like the flow it puts out and it's small size. What I dislike is the app. It is not user friendly and sometimes has a mind of its own. The cyclic wave patterns frequently caused it to stall out at lower speed even though I kept it very clean. I basically paid the extra $$ to have a Bluetooth programmable wave maker, but due to the frequent frustration just run it in manual on high. If I had known, I would have saved some money. This is one of the more expensive wave makers in the market, but when it's frustrating to use those extra bells and whistles that cost extra...is it really worth it?

This little pump, is worth it’s weight in gold! For how small the physical head of the pump is, it really pushes a lot of flow with almost zero noise!! The wave maker head sits gently on suction cups, giving you options for flow direction, and then on a very sturdy, but not overly strong magnet- installation is a breeze! The controller is very sturdy, well built, with even water resistant connections on the power cable. The app was quite straight forward and easy to use, with many wave settings seen in “high end” pumps, the blue tooth connection was one of the easiest I’ve had with technology. I have this running on a 20 gallon long, it’s perfect, I will be buying a larger one for one of my larger tanks! 10/10 recommend!

I have had this wave maker for a week or two now and I love it. It is very small and very powerful I use it on the lowest intensity and it does a very good job in my 36 gal bow front tank. The manual controls are easy to use and the Bluetooth companion app is great. It connects instantly and has a lot of functionality and ease of use. I couldn't be more happy with this. If you are considering a wave maker for your tank look no further than this product.

I purchased this on August 2022 and on november 2022 the Bluetooth stopped connecting to the WaveMaker i rested it and did everything i can but no luck other than that it is not bad good power for size
