Explained: A Guide To Jecod DMP “VorTech Clone” Wavemaker iOS/Android App Control & Programming

This video is a how-to guide for controlling and programming the Jecod DMP wavemaker via the Jebao Aqua app.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

UPDATE: Jebao has updated their app’s “Random Flow Mode” to include an INTENSITY CONTROL FUNCTION! YES!!!

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

FWIW - the update is live for Android users as of 10/27/24, and I am sure iOS will follow, but Apple’s update process takes longer than Android’s, I’ve heard. Sit tight, iOS folks!

@@kalamazoo_reefer 🥳. Do you think a dmp10 in a 10g cube would be manageable?

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

@@askariboy4857 Hard to say, since I have yet to test that model. Lowest you can go on these is 30% strength. I’ll be testing the DMP-10 next month probably.

[@askariboy4857]

@@kalamazoo_reefer Nice! I’m currently rocking the 1600gph hygger wavemaker and would think this would be a nice little upgrade that would allow me to tweak things a bit more.

[@tmontana6715]

Im glad that you are making these videos of this pump

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

I will keep making them until I’ve fully covered every minor aspect of them. I want everyone to have the proper resources to make informed decisions and avoid confusion/frustration.

[@tmontana6715]

@@kalamazoo_reefer I will be watching out for the video when they finally update the option of being able to control the power at random speeds. This was a dealbreaker for me. Keep up with the videos!

[@robalberts2326]

I just ordered a DMP30. Very excited.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

@@robalberts2326 I’ve got a -30 on the way, too! And a -40 😂🤣

@@tmontana6715Update: they just added the functionality to Android, with iOS to follow shortly. Boom.

[@deepBLUEhue]

Thanks buddy. Really helped me out

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

@@deepBLUEhue That’s what I shoot for! Glad I could assist!

[@TheHobbyist412]

I bought 2 dmp 20s after watching your vidoes. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. If these pumps prove to be reliable, they truly are a game changer.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Awesome! Based on my experience, I think you’ll be pleased. Long term use is the big question mark. Fingers crossed.

[@travisclements1032]

Bought a DMP 10 today. Appreciate your time in showing us around. If my first one is a good fit, and the pairing (wave) option with a 2nd pump is good, I will order a 2nd one. Looking forward to that pairing video. Love seeing more competition driving innovation up and price down... especially given what Aperture is doing to gatekeep the hobby.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Appreciate your thoughts, my friend. I wholly agree. Looking forward to experimenting with the pairing process. I’ll probably make a whole video specifically about that!

[@Danzig1387]

Great in depth review, really good point about random mode! I cant wait for you to fall down the Hydros rabbit hole.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Oh, it’ll happen. I will get to everything eventually. Lmao.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

They updated random mode with flow control. Android first, iOS to follow. Wild.

[@KTHMClef]

Bought two pumps after watching your videos!!

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Nice! What size?!

[@sergiojaramillo13]

Thank you for the videos. I can't wait to get the DMP10

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

I’ll be curious to see that one in action! I’ll probably pick one up next month, to try on my nano.

[@Pontiuspilate666]

Im gonna buy the dmp 20 for my tank, cant wait to try it. Can't beat the price compared to vortechs insane price.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

It is absolutely an unbeatable price. Absolutely wild. You’ll really like it, I have no doubt.

[@MrMsm333]

Thanks for the video. I 100% agree about random mode. This is bad that I can't get a larger pump just in case in the future, i might have to crank it up more with coral growth. :(

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

I am doing my best on it. I hope they listen. I’ll follow up in a couple days, if I don’t hear anything back.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

They updated the app for random mode control. Live on Android, with iOS support to follow.

[@matmooNZ]

Disappointing random mode cant be modified. Thanks for the video!

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Agreed, and thanks for watching!

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

They updated the app for random mode flow control. Android first, iOS to follow.

[@craigpearce3620]

Is there a feed mode button on the controller or can you only enter it through the app?

[@yingyangmanX]

Is there any way to make the feed mode run at 1% during feeding time to keep out small fish? I visualize small fish going into pump during feed time and gets cut up when the pump turns back on.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

@@yingyangmanX No idea! Haven’t ever used feed mode. I’d buy a guard from Unreef dot com. Very small holes. I have a review up for it.

[@bryansimms7499]

Has anyone tried running a couple pumps and can you get them to run in anti-sync; I’d like to put one on either side of a tank and have them alternate which is pushing

[@Eddie2fish]

Are you able to select the intensity in the manual controller? And then set the modes in the app?

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

I’ll check and circle around! Great question.

[@moereefer]

Sweet thanks

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Always, friend!

[@WLNS75]

Can you tell me if there is an extra port on the controller for a battery back up to be plugged in? TY!

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

I don’t see one. I connect my devices to an EcoFlow River 2 power station, which is an LFP battery with a long lifespan. I just connect them via AC and get many hours or runtime. DC is more efficient, but by negating the need for DC connection, I can run any gear on my backup. Wish they’d included it, though, for folks that want it!

[@askariboy4857]

I hope they add the ability to adjust the intensity of random mode. Want to get one for my 10 gallon cube

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

You have no idea how bad I need this to happen LOL

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

They updated the app for random flow mode control. Android first, iOS to follow.

[@mason3981]

iOS wallpaper on an android tablet?! Blasphemy lol. Thanks for going over the app settings. These pumps look interesting, going to purchase one of the DMP10s.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

@@mason3981 Haha, I love that old school wallpaper!

[@AZ4RunnersRealm]

A shame about random mode intensity. hopefully they will update the app. I purchased a DMP10 to give it a try. hopefully they do , if not I'll stick with the Ecotech brand.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

@@AZ4RunnersRealm Random mode adjustability is huge for me. Huge. Absolutely want that asap.

@@kalamazoo_reefer like you said as it is with all Reefers.

@@kalamazoo_reefer NICE!!

[@Hyphnx]

Does the configuration save once you set it?

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Yep, it just runs in that config until you change it. You have to delete it to start from scratch on a new config.

[@davidleach4689]

Which model would you recommend for a 75 gallon sps tank

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Don’t know enough about the other models yet, though I will soon! I’d roll with a DMP-30, if this is the primary flow pump you’ll be using, but take that with a grain of salt, as again, I have only tested the DMP-20.

[@davidleach4689]

Thank you

[@silesia_reef]

I got 2 slw 20 wifi, the app is the same. When I run them with program, they often dont start after feed period.I am afraid, the dmps will have the same issue.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

They don’t resume the program after a manual feed?

[@silesia_reef]

@kalamazoo_reefer No, the feeding time is part of the program; the pumps stop when it’s time. However, when the feeding time ends (yellow zone) and the random mode should start, the pumps don’t turn on. I haven’t tried after the update; maybe they’ve fixed it.

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

@ Interesting. When I get my wavemakers running on the tank full time, following my KZbin series on them, I’ll experiment fully, and see if I can’t get this sorted. Their customer service agent was responsive to my request for adding flow control to “Random Mode,” so I’m hoping they are responsive to other suggestions!

[@davidcastonguay2069]

Any chance they can connect with hydros wave engine ?

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Guessing not, but I have no familiarity with Hydros!

[@barelyreefer]

Do you think there's a good reason why jebao didn't add wifi control and kept it Bluetooth just like vortech? Maybe to keep cost down?

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

Because they can’t innovate. Not at a high rate, anyway. They were far more comfortable to just direct copy-paste this. Too nervous to go that far outside the box. But hey, we got suction cup caps. That was a legit improvement. Not bad.

[@jeremiechang]

They have done WiFi control before with previous modules, but many people complained that it's difficult to connect (although I personally have a pretty good luck with it), so I'm guessing that's why they go with Bluetooth this time.

[@Richard-v1w]

Do you have a link to the actual seller you bought this from?

[@kalamazoo_reefer]

@@Richard-v1w It’s on AliExpress. Search term: Jecod DMP. Purchase from the seller who has sold the most units. Best bet every time. Never gone wrong using this method.

Do these ship from China or the US when you order?

They ship direct from ole China herself.
