Looking for a cheaper version of a "Seaswirl" wavemakers

something I can attach to my outputs that will spray left to right. I think $150+ for the seaswirl is a bit rich. Are there any options that are cheaper?

I've tired the Hydor FLO rotating deflectors, but they don't always stay on and restrict the flow (so it ends up coming out faster on my other outputs).

isn't there anything in the $30-50 range?

Right there is good plans. Its kinda vague but it shows it. You have to search the actual thread here on RC. It tells everything.
