      It doesn't have jet spray only a scraper bar on top of the drum to scrape the detritus off.

      Only handles 1500 gallons per hour pump wonder if they make bigger models still not bad for $110.

      Looks like water is being sprayed via a fixed spray bar at the bottom of the open housing.

      Are the rotating bars not to hold the drum ends and drum together?

      Seems like they are only using 4 output instead of available 8 output

      At the bottom it said: only open one side when using with a fish tank. Also, from the Taobao website, it’s electric transformer is indoor only. This filter is described as for fish tank or fish pond.

Contact the seller(most will understand English but if not I guess they will use a translator), ask him if the unit is in stock and what does the pricing 1300 include. There are several add-on items that seem to be the micron size so ask him exactly what the 1300 price will get you. Ask him if he will ship to the US directly, give him your exact address and make sure you be really really precise with him. Most of the time, you are probably talking to a sales person and they are clueless with what the shipping cost is going to be all they want to do is close the sale. Put the dude on the spot, and make sure you get a total price with shipping included, and make sure to let him know you will cancel the order immediately if the price isn't right with shipping later on. If he doesn't then ask him what the shipping cost it is to ship to Shenzhen or Guangzhou(most likely will be free ship). Now, if you like your price and then we can proceed to payment. Ask him if he will take paypal, that would be the best, but if not you can just use your US card on taobao but make sure it is a credit card.

      Sorry if I made the process sound so intense. They won't scam your money or anything but it will just be a hassle and a waste of time if your don't pin down the exact detail. They value their account and reviews as much as your amazon/ebay seller. The seller's account is 5 years old, a diamond seller, and has over 9000 items listed so there likely won't be an issue with him. Also, the item has 70 reviews so translate the page into english and take a look into it.

      Finally, if he doesn't ship to US directly, and you need a shipper then I can give you one, he's on wechat. So you pretty much ship it to the shipper and you give him your tracking number and he will handle the rest for you.

      If you have anymore question, feel free to ask me.

      BTW, what was the total cost you get from the vietnam seller on youtube?
      I've tried to contact this seller multiple times and the chat (AliWangWang) keep banning my account on it. I can buy through TaoBao still but I can't use AliWangWang to talk to the merchant...
