Remora Knockoff? - Take a look at this thing!

[snapcrackler]

Can't find info on it anywhere. It comes with a PH (looks like a maxijet but.... could it be a maxijet?!?! doubt it.)

Interesting!

Looks VERY MUCH like a Remora! Funny coincidence? (NOT!!)

Except that I betcha it does not use air injection....... it looks as though the PH just shoots into the bottom so it bubbles up... I am curious curious curious.

WHAT do you guys think?!?!?

I sent the guy an email and am awaiting an answer.

Thanks, Erik

don't you mean a cpr backpack??

Yeah, that looks like a Bakpak, not a Remora. If I'm not mistaken I've seen that exact knockoff in a LFS here in Dallas. I didn't see what pump came with it though. That's definitely NOT the pump that comes with a Bakpak, FWIW. Bakpaks use Rios.

My bad.... my bad....... I had never seen a CPR bakpak.... but yes it looks just like one (I just looked) .



Sigh, I have so much to learn, but oh well it's fun

hha as do I snap, as do I - thats the great thing about this hobby.. I could be 80 years into the hobby yet always something I didn't know 8O

I saw those at the HH backer trade show. They are cheap china imports that are exact copies of the Bak Pak and the pump is an exact replica of the Maxi jet. It is to bad CPR did not put a patent on there design like aqua c did.

but patents dont hold up to over seas companies right??

You can get global patents or country patents, I think.
