any way it was 15.00 for shipping from california,

i own an odessa ,which is the same as jebo for the most part,
this one is stronger and built the same as the other

it came with a drip tray which is nice,. and all the media which the sunsun i bought did not come with,.. but that is ok,..

they only problem with this shipment for some reason the ceramic pieces were not bagged and all were in their appropriate trays,.. but tiny dust and pieces were every where,.. posting pics next,..

this is the description from the ad.




2 different sized ceramics




rubber gaskets so that the trays can seal together










shut off valves



the only problem i noticed with this verses the one i bought few years ago is the shut offs; when unplugged let more water out then the older one did,..

 

[dixienut]

2 different sized hoses larger one for intake , smaller one for output

filling canister with water, its better for priming instead of pumping all day,..




sealing head gasket with petroluim jelly stuff


testing for leaks,.. none




spray bar in action



i didn't use the filter pad for the rest of the trays i used quilting batting,.. kept those for the first tray under the corser blue pad


set up and in action on the top 55gallon goldie tank,.

Now that I have seen the impeller on this clone I cant help but notice how it looks similar in color, size and shape to other clone impellers. I speculate that different Chinese clone manufacturers probubly outsource sub components and use identical pump/impellers.

I'm sure they do,.. the other thing i noticed different is the power cord,. on this one it looks like a lamp cord,.. and the one on the older Odessa is a huge round one thats 3 pronged,.. but it could be just the way of getting cheaper over the past few years,.. but the cord on the older Odessa is short, and this one is real long,..

oh well i hope it does as good a job as the Odessa has,...
actually i haven't seen my sun sun since i set it up,..lol probably should get it out and clean it as its on a Goldie tank also,.. probably not a great way to test them,,.

sure wish i had the fx5,..lol but way took big a bit for me, to get past hubby,..lol

Forgot to say that you certainly did a very good job on posting this early photo review. The close up and sizing pictorial should be a big help for those considering buying one.:thumbsup:
