    Well I just got mine and it appears to do as advertised. I am using it on the alternating program with the 5 second interval.

    I just bought one today and have it set up on 15 min intervals. So far I have absolutely no complaints.

    Though I may need some help with where I should be placing my powerheads...

    Just curious how the Smart Wave is still working for you guys? And anyone else who happens to have one.

    Thinking about getting one, the price is pretty reasonable. Just curious if the Smart Wave is worth buying.

    I saw one in action at MACNA and I was impressed.....especially when one considers the cost of some of the competitors.

    I have one and I love it.. I have mine set to alternating currents every 15 mins. You don't exclusively need koralia powerheads to run it either, it works with any brand.

    So does that mean whatever powerheads you have on one plug are off for fifteen minutes while the powerheads on the other plug are on?

    I'm a bit confused with the right knob. Are the times how long each pump stays on for?

    Left knob is for the mode (synchronous or alternating). The right knob is for the times.

    I am using one and does what is expected. curious though as to why 2in10, you are using on 5 second interval. I put mine on the longest setting with the idea of trying to get close to tides.
