I have done quite a bit of research and I have never seen anything negative on these. They are generally seen on higher end systems. They are unique as spray injection is patented by Aquac. Pump recommendation from the vendor is very important since too little or too much pressure will cause it not to work correctly. I am buying the EV-400 to be setup externally. One way to to test whether you like this technology to buy one of the HOBs from aquac which use the same technology.
