Guide Review - Pulse-It Variable Pulse Wave Maker

The 6 power outlets on the Pulse-It Wave Maker can be individually programmed for wave intervals of between 0.05 seconds and 100 hours. The settings are adjusted with inset screws and numerous double dials. This allows each powerhead to be set to whatever interval the user wishes. There are no preprogrammed options available. There is no "soft start" feature so some of the popular powerheads should not be used with these units, as they may not hold up under the repeated strain of switching on. These units should work quite well for the aquarist who likes to have the ability to tailor a wave maker's patterns to their own specifications.
