Has Anybody Tried JEBO UV Sterilizers in their Ponds ?
Well a alot of pretty bad posts have been made in various web forums
in regards to the china crap peddled / made by JEBO..They can;t make a pair of light bulbs that match, lights are notorious for having ballasts erupt into flame, pumps that lock up after a few hours of use or fail to run at all, protein skimmers that have to be fiddled with 24 hours a day and still produce minimal skim, and a whole host of other problems..You get what you pay for. I know of a poster that bought 2 light sets, and out of both of them none worked for more than an hours time until ballasts started to melt and turn to liquid tar......They are cheap for one reason, becasue JEBO on thewhole is acheap of junk that could probably be manufactuered and still have a slight resemblence of the item discription. I would save many headaches and wasted return postage and hassles and save some more money and get a decent unit. Oh you may lluck up and get one that may work for a bit, but the odds are against you getting anything that works well or last long.

Thanks Rick ====================== That sounds to good to believe. I would be leery that either they're "junk" or the bulbs are worn out and need replacement. Those lights that go inside these units are very expensive. I have two tetra UVs that work great, but they're about twice that price. I haven't used them these past 3 years because I haven't needed them. -- Koi-Lo.... frugal ponding since 1995...
