The Polario..

Wow does the controller get that hot to need a fan? Hmmm I guess you have to be RF's guinea pig for this little toy.

Ok, I got it. I put it in water. I plugged it in. The downfall is I do not have intructions to adjust timer on controller. It did make a noise when I put controller on its side. It also pulled water from surface like my tunzes did...made same noise when making whirl pool as tunzes. Its working like a champ. Only I need to adjust timer instead of 15 seconds each direction.

any updates?

I noticed that you bought this on RC, Ed. It will be good to get some reports on how it works.

Marine Depot has them $200-$240. 4 ratings which are not very good. Nosy and cheap controller seems to be the general opinion.

The controller does make a whirl noise when changing directions. I have Ice cap fans so its a little bit louder than Ice Cap fan. Flow is pretty good.
Magnet was good enough to hold pump on 3/4 inch acrylic. It has a adjustable bracket for angle. So far I really like it.

Hmm I might have to add this to my new system. Keep us updated in a month. Would like to know how you feel about them after a month of use from you.

Thanks, sArang

Set timer on Controller tonight to ten minutes to each side. Its a lot quieter. Auto mod does 15 seconds a side. I really like the polario and see little if any to complain about at this point.

That is good news Ed!! Can you keep both ends running at the same time?

No, It works one direction, then the other direction. Timed from 15 seconds-30 minutes per side.

 

[roscoe]

Ahhh I was hoping they do. This is still a great option for me though.

hi ed are you still useing this pump?? do you still like it?

Yes, It is still working great. It makes a little whir noise when it switches sides. If you have Ice cap fans running, its hard to hear.
