cheap asian cannister filters

[nick6013]

hi all just wondering what your opinions on the cheap copies of common cannister filter out there. Have you bought one? wat type and wat did ya think?

[Xielos]

Not entirely sure what you mean. Do you mean like some type of bootleg or counterfiet filter? Seems pretty pointless to me, is there a site with more info about them?

Probably he thinks about Resun and others china manifactured , I got one
after 1 year it started to sound very funny and the ******* died on me , with regular cleaning and every thing if it says 1 year waranty that is how long it will last

I am not in this hobby short term, and I want equipment that does the job I need and which I can count on to operate long-term. I am far more concered with life-cycle costs than with initial purchase price. For me, Eheim canisters with good engineering and quality control, and low power consumption, stocked with indefinite-life media, work out lowest cost per operating year over their 20-30+ year lifespan.

I'm giving a JEBO 838 a trial run - so far so good but it's only a month old. It's super quiet and the flow is perfect. For 50 bucks I had to give it a shot.

I am running 2 of the Jebo 828 cannisters, which I think have now been renamed the oddesea cfs4. IME, no problems at all, both are about 9-10 months old.
They run, don't leak and are quiet. I can't think of anything else to say.

Jebo and odyssea are 2 whole different brands eventhough the products are the same anyhow I also have a cfs4 and it works great I am planning on getting 2 more.
