it seems the company owner has read my review and called me,i was impressed with this,he seen an unhappy customer and he wanted to fix the situation,i applaud you for the quick investigation into this Brian,he was very nice and genuinely concerned,so much so he offered a new replacement,after discussing the issues we are going to try just a new pump and extra plumbing to see if i can get the results like his video,a stand up guy,hard to find anymore in this hobby.i will post my results when the new stuff arrives
Wow. I saw them sign up to the site. Grear to hear Brian is helping out. I think he is in Ottawa from what I have read on other sites. Looking forward to the updates.

I think a special mention should go to sealife. I was there dealing with my pipeless skimmer and gary called brian right then and there. We mentioned to him pulp was having issues also and to refer to this site.
Gary been great if it doesnt work right hes quick to figure it out and definately os not into endorsing product that are inferior.

CAD lights rep or owner Brian sent me out a new pump and a piece of the PVC pipe they use.today i will go through the shit of ripping my sump apart and install this pump.i also removed all the pellets and put into a measuring cup to get an exact amount,just under 2 cups,or 500 ml for you metric folks,
after i assembled it i decided to try with only 1 cup to satisfy my curiosity,video to come.

before i post the last video on this,i revert back to the video theyangman posted from the CAD Lights web site,if you look close they are running the unit without the recirculating valve,you have to look close,no plumbing to the pump intake and the return plumbing has what looks like no black valve,i have put back all my pellets into the unit and it runs no different than when i first set it up,there is no way i would recomend this to anyone with a tank bigger than 100 gallons or smaller .if you want the tornado look no more than a cup of pellets and no valve.
750 ml of pellets would definatly clock fairly quick .300 gallon tank?......
