Is there a way to silence the thump that the koralias' make when cycled on by a wavemaster pro? Is there an alternative (affordable) silent option that works well with a wavemaster pro?

Thanks,

Sean :-)

My understanding is that the drive is spinning faster than the blade which is causing the thumping. I quit using my wave master because of the same problem. If you want to keep the wave master get some maxi jets.

You are doing damage to your powerheads now.

jaustin is correct. Koralias are not meant to be put on wave makers that stop completely and start up again. You can however put them on wavemakers that reduce the power then increase like the seio controller.

yea like anthony said what i have read on RC says that you can run them on a seio controller. if you continue running them on the wavemaster pro i would expect your outcome to be the same as other people on RC a ruined set of Koralias
