Hi everyone.I just ordered a Jebao Canister filter 918.I got this from ebay.Price was very good- cheap.I would like to know if anyone has this filter or has used it.Any advice would be great.I do know that this filter is a knock off of eheim and made in china.Thanks.

I don't think anyone here uses it. From various reviews/comments, it seems like a decent if unspectacular filter.

If I remember correctly, it's an Eheim wanna be. On other forums, some people have liked it, some have not. Make sure you get the directions on how to set it up with the filter.

Thanks for your help.I was told by some other web sites that yes it is a eheim wanna be knock off that is made in china.For me as long as it does the job well that is all that counts.

How right you are!! Like I said- to me all that matters is that is does the job well.It will never beat an eheim but who cares.When I receive it and hook it up I will let everyone know how it works out.Thanks.

Hi guys.Okay I got the Jebao 918 canister filter today.It looks real good but feels very cheap made as I expected.It was however simple to set up and get it to start working.This filter works well but pumps the water out not as powerfull as it should be for a filter this size.As the saying goes- you get what you pay for.That is why it is very cheap priced.

is it as quite as an eheim?

Beleive it or not it is really quiet!! It just makes a very low humming sound.
Not really a bad filter just the water intake and outflow are not as powerfull as it should be for a large filter this size.It is not very powerfull at all.
