Anyone ever use or have any comments about these devices? They usually run about $150 but I picked one up off eBay the other day for $35. Kinda anxious to see how it works. Here's their lnk:

Keep us updated. I was looking at these a while back, but never purchased.

I don't have any experience with it but I'll be interested to see what kind of luck you have with it too. Definitely let us know.

I've heard that they robbed too much power from the pump, but I've never actually seen them in action or much less used one.

I have one of these (also off eBay) and it worked great till I changed my setup. Needs a good size pump to push it. I have the Rotating/Pulser and it gave good surface agitation and sort of random flow with the rotation.

I got the two-port pulser. It is suppose to pulse back and forth between the two ports. I will be using it on a LG 3MDX or my PW 150. I hope this works, it will be a nice buy. If it works well, then I might get a couple more of these. The seller has quite a few left. He has other styles, also. Will keep you posted.

Got my OC in today, gonna hook it up tomorrow and see what happens. It does need a good size pump. The paperwork says to have a min. of 400gph. I guess the lil giant should work just fine. The device looks purty cool and works with standard pvc fittings. Keep you posted.
