Not to drag up an old topic...but I will LoL
I just spend the day really digging and this is what I found.
The pumps and controller do not need to be CSA approved as they run at less the 100v per OESC Rule 2-022(3) (c) specifies some exceptions (being: Class I hazardous locations are those in which vapours or gases may be present and Class II hazardous locations are those in which dust may be suspended in the air to the extent that explosive concentrations may be present) to electrical product approval requirements. Electrical equipment does not require approval if it connected to the load side of an approved Class 2 power supply whose power output does not exceed 100 V, (thanks to a fellow TFT member who posted info on another forum), either way, the pumps are CE approved.
The power source on the other hand is where the legal concern rises. The power source
IS c UL US approved and c UL US is certified for use in Canada. (http://www.ul.com/canada/eng/pages/aboutus/). Jebao (jebao.com) is a major manufacture of pond and aquarium pumps. They have been around for over a decade and are the MAG drive pump of China, if you may.
BUT If you are really concerned with the CSA stamp you should also probably get rid of any wavelive/speedwave/diablo dc pumps, as well as, CADLights pumps are not certified from what I have read thus far.
So the only thing really remaining in question is if you want to use their legally branded c UL US power source, if you are worried about that, then you can get a CSA one and still be spending a fraction of the cost of a vortec product. That is of course if you can even find one on the market listed as CSA approved as my brand new Alienware 17 laptop from Dell came with a power source that is not labeled CSA approved, as well as all of my name brand external hard drives, Dlink router, wireless phone, canon video camera, Bell HD reciever, Samsung 46" LCD TV...etc etc, all not listed as CSA approved, only c UL US approved.
